How to Delete Metacrawler History

Web search engines can help you find useful information.

MetaCrawler is an Internet search engine that combines the results from several other search engines, such as Google and Bing, when you perform a search, displaying them together on a single results page. By default, MetaCrawler saves your 15 most recent searches, displaying them on the right side of the results page. Delete your search history on MetaCrawler to keep prying eyes from seeing your recent searches, and disable the search history if you do not want your searches to be saved.

Instructions

1. Browse to MetaCrawler.com and perform a search. Your recent searches will be displayed on the right side of the results page.

2. Click the "Clear All" link under your recent searches. This clears your search history from MetaCrawler. If you want your searches to continue being recorded, stop here. To prevent your MetaCrawler search history from being saved, continue to the next step.

3. Click the "Preferences" link at the top of the screen.

4. Scroll down to the "Recent Searches" category and click the radio button labeled "Recent Searches Off."

5. Click the "Save Settings" button. Your MetaCrawler search history will no longer be saved.
