How to Increase Search History With Internet Explorer

Microsoft released Internet Explorer 9 in March 2011.

The Internet Explorer browser is the doorway to a multitude of information on the Web. In the physical world, people generally venture to local libraries to gather information, and they know where to find that information if they should need it again in the future. However, the digitized world on the Internet is constantly changing, where no Web page or website is guaranteed to exist as it did on a previous visit. Also, users might have difficulty remembering the domain of every single website they have downloaded. Fortunately, the Internet Explorer browser is capable of keeping a long-term memory of your website visits.

Instructions

1. Open the Internet Explorer browser.

2. Open the "Tools" menu on the right side of the browser window. Select "Internet Options," which opens a dialog box.

3. Select the "General" tab. Click the "Settings" button in the "Browsing History" section, which opens the "Temporary Internet Files and History Settings" dialog box.

4. Find the "Days to Keep Pages In History" subsection under the "History" section at the bottom of the dialog box. Press the "up" arrow in the selection box to increase the number of days that Internet Explorer will retain a history of website visits using the browser.

5. Click the "OK" button.
