Every time you search for something in Google, your web browser generally saves these searches to your computer using "AutoComplete". If you search for "cars" on Monday, and then go to search for "carrots" on Tuesday, you may have noticed that when you started to type "ca" into Google’s search box, a list of previously searched for terms that start in "ca" are displayed. It is important to keep your privacy and security on your computer - so here is how you can delete your Google search history in Internet Explorer 7.
