How To Delete Your Google Web History
Your online searches is collected by Google Web History when you enable it, and you stay logged in to your account whenever you do your searches.
It collects not just your keywords and the pages you visited, but also the videos you watched in Google Video, the sponsored links you clicked, the photos you viewed on Image Search results. It records all your activities with Maps, Blog Search, and Book Search.
If at one time you just decided that keeping your search history isn’t a good idea anymore, and it is best to delete all tracks of your past searches then here’s how to do it.
1. Log in to your Account.
2. Click the ‘Edit’ link.
3. On the next page click ‘Delete Web History’.
4. Then it will ask you if you are sure you want to permanently remove Web History from your account. Check the box, if you are sure, and provide your password.
5. Click the ‘Remove Web History’ button.

How to Remove Google Search Box From Firefox
I already blogged about how to remove the search box in Google Toolbar for Firefox, but there are some users who didn’t install the toolbar, and just want to remove the Google Search Box from Firefox. Though the steps are the same, my previous post may be unclear to those who are not using this specific toolbar. So to remove the search box, here are the steps:
First, right click on any part of the toolbar then choose customize. A new smaller window will appear with a lot of icons in it. You will also see a hand cursor. Move this hand cursor over the search box, and then grab the box into the icon window. Then click done. After doing these steps, the box is gone in your Firefox browser.
Below are ‘before’ and ‘after’ screenshots:
