How to Delete Things on Your Search Engine List

Web browsers store the information about the sites visited in temporary Internet files, cookies and the browser's cache. Website URLs, search items that were typed in the search engines and other personal information is saved. Anyone else using your computer can look up this information easily. You need to delete all of the saved information within the browser, which will remove even the history items from the address field.
