    File Explorer Search Question

    Additional information to "properly" complete this task
    (this post is for the original poster, and for future reference for others that come across this post):

    The step that is mentioned in post #2 above disables that certain feature from listing the history of your search results, yet those search results that you posted in your picture, I highly believe, are still saved in your computer. (So if you undo the steps from post #2, your history will show up again.)

    The best practices in a scenario like this is to also remove those search results (that are now hidden after following step #2).

    What I would do:
    1) Temporarily undo what you did from Step #2
    2) Click in the search box, and place your mouse cursor on the first result. You will see an "X" on the right side. Here's an example of what mine currently looks like:

    How to undo x button on search 386064d1676864355t-file-explorer-search-question-image.png

    (as you can see, I placed my mouse cursor on the first result, to see that "X" on the right side of that history result)
    3) Press that "X" button, to delete that search result from the history that the computer saved
    4) The list will move upwards, removing that first result. The same thing will show for that next result.
    5) Continue that same process until the list is cleared.
    6) Keep note though! One this list is removed, press in that Search box again! It's possible that more results will show. If so, those next list of results are from even older. Sometimes Windows doesn't show every single item within that first list, so you must press the Search Box above again, in order for Windows to reload more of that list.
    7) Continue this same process, if applies.
    8) One there are no more items to list, then follow the same process from Step #2 above to go back to the new, history-disabled, method that you just did.

    What I typed is pretty much a more "proper" way to approach this scenario, in order to avoid others figuring out a way to look at the history of your searches. My steps are not necessary, but would be more preferred if you want to completely remove your search history. It's your choice.

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?
