How to Erase Recent Searches on Dogpile
Dogpile is a metasearch engine, which means it retrieves search results from a variety of search engines including Google, Yahoo!, Bing and Ask.com. By default, Dogpile keeps track of your recent search history so you can access the same content again quickly when you want to. Whether you are searching for content directly from Dogpile.com or using the Dogpile search toolbar, clear your search history if you do not want other users to view your search history.
