Many Internet users want to know how to delete their search history in Yandex. This is not surprising, since storing queries in the search bar violates a person's privacy, especially if several people are using the computer at once. To clear the history, it is enough to use the special settings of the search engine or the current browser.
Deleting search history via Yandex settings
Open the search engine and pay attention to the "Settings" link in the upper right corner. Click on it and select "Portal Settings". On the page that opens, you can configure the display of search results, as well as delete the Yandex search history itself. Just click on the "Clear Query History" button in the "Search Suggestions" section. Now other users, as well as yourself, having entered the site, will not see the words and phrases entered earlier in the line.
Remaining on the settings page, you can click on the "Search results" link. In the section that opens, go to the item "Personal search" and uncheck the boxes next to the options "Consider my search history" and "Show favorite sites". This will help to preserve your privacy as much as possible, and other users will not be able to see which sites you visit most often and what queries you use for this.
Return to the main settings page and uncheck the box next to the "Show frequent requests" option. This will completely clear the search bar, and when you enter any words and phrases, you will not see similar queries entered by other people. This useful option will allow you to make your own search more accurate and targeted.
Clearing Yandex search history through browser settings
Setting the necessary options in the search engine itself does not always guarantee the safety of your data, since other users can reactivate the disabled settings, and the entered phrases will again be displayed in the line. To prevent this from happening, you can go to the settings of your Internet browser. Usually they are located in the main menu, the button for switching to which is located in the upper part of the window.
In the options menu, you need to find user preferences such as "clear browser history", "clear cookies" and "save forms". They may be named differently in different browsers. One way or another, the execution of these actions completely erases from the browser memory any manipulations that users have performed for the entire time or the time period specified in the current settings.
Thus, performing these actions after each browser closure, you can delete your Yandex search history, as well as any other information about visited sites. In order not to do this constantly, you can use the Internet browser in "incognito" mode, which is activated through the main menu. It does not automatically save browsing history and other user actions.
