    How do i clear the cache of searched for words on the google home page? I can delete search history on the google toolbar but if I go onto the google homepage, everything is still there. Just an annoyance really.

    Depends what browser you are using! Which is it? On what operating system?

    Here's how:

    1. Launch Internet Explorer (IE)
    2. In IE, select 'Internet Options' from the 'Tools' menu
    3. On the 'Internet Options' dialog, select the 'Content' tab
    4. Under 'Personal Information' press the 'AutoComplete' button
    5. On the 'AutoComplete Settings' dialog, press the 'Clear Forms' button
    6. Confirm you wish to clear the form data

    That's it! You're done! Note that you will lose other form data after performing this procedure.

    Ofcourse, the next day I got an email from the good people at Mozilla saying to clear Google cache all you need to do is right click in the search bar and go to 'clear history'

    i love that!

    I think in re-reading Tobruk's reply.. he/she maybe in their weird and wonderful way thanking the advice in removing the Google Cache results, but without Tobruk's answer in to what they ment I'm summising.

    But being a first post and in a thread of this type, where many hate the cached results of Google I can only think thats what they ment :)

    I agree - seems like a "thank you", but is worded like an "eff you"
