When I type something into google all the previous things I've searched for come up that begin with the same letter. How can I delete these?

Do I need to delete my cookies???

Thanks

That information isn't stored in cookies. What browser are you using and on what operating system are you?

If you are using Internet Explorer, see this article (http://malektips.com/internet_explorer_6_privacy_cookies_0010.html).

This isn't something done by google, it's your browser remembering form infomation to make life easier for you, most browsers will have an option to forget things like this.
To be honest, you might have considered this before searching for porn.

Tree... we all know this probably has to do with porno... but why on earth did you come out and say it.

I was just feeling particualy insensitive is all. Is that such a crime?

You all had me fooled there (for a while).

I thought it was because he was searching for tutorials on how to build WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) or perhaps the Al-Qaeda blog-plug. :D

Though that might also be the case, something like this is also a security concern when it comes to user logins. It allows people using the computer to perhaps figure out a user's email address or username. I know in some offices, the IT department disable this option because of that.

Haha, has the tree been naughty? :D

In Firefox, click the Tools menu item and then go down to "Options." In the Window that pops up, click on the "Privacy" tab to the left. There should be an area that says "Saved Form Information," and to the right a button that says "Clear All." You can also click a little plus (+) icon to the left of "Saved Form Information" to clear specific remembered form information. Hope this helps.

Oh, by the way, I'm curious - what are you going to get him?

Hmm... I might just give you the benifit of the doubt, maybe. Well, whatever, here's your awnser:

tools >> options >> privacy >> saved form infomation >> clear
