When you type in the address bar of Internet
Explorer, some websites that you visited previously are suggested. This behaviour
remains in effect even when you have deleted the browsing history. This phenomenon
results from the rather close connection Internet Explorer has with Windows
search. Here, visited web pages are also suggested and options from the index
are suggested when similar URLs are being typed in. This functional expansion
exists in Internet Explorer 8 and even in Windows XP, despite Windows search
being installed as an extra. Those who do not want their browsing history to be
suggested can do away with this integration.
For this, open "Extras | Internet options"
in Internet Explorer or click on the Settings symbol and then on "Internet
options". Now click on the "Contents" tabs and then on the
"Settings" button under "Auto-complete". Deactivate the
option "Windows search for better search results" as well as—if
available—"Suggest URLs". Further, you can choose to delete the auto-complete
history and carry out adjustments in the following dialogue.
