Unfortunately I am not familiar with the Safari settings since I have never used it. Maybe someone on the Forum is a Safari Geek and can tell you what to do. Give it a couple of days because Safari is not that commonly used. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/safari-for-windows-disable-history-in-web-searches#post-34023 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:12:13 +0000 dbar2 34023@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yes, thank you-- I do have Ccleaner. Thanks acdc.<br /> whs you're right.. I'm looking to disable this 'drop down list' that<br /> shows all your bookmarks.... It's a bit similar to Firefox 3.0's 'Awesome Bar'</p> <p>Here's a clear description of it...<br /> "The Smart Location Bar, dubbed the "awesome bar" by the company, drops in a mix of your bookmarks and browser history as you type. For example, if you've got CNN.com bookmarked, or have visited it in the past, simply typing in a "C" would drop down a stream of links with some of the most relevant or highly visited sites rising to the top. It's been designed as a time-saver, but a group of users have come down on the new feature because it can't be turned off easily and has a quirky habit of putting some links in front of others." - cnet.com</p> <p>Any idea how to disable this in Safari?</p> <p>Thank you again,<br /> Dbar2 </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/safari-for-windows-disable-history-in-web-searches#post-33836 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:09:59 +0000 acdc 33836@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>You are right ;-) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/safari-for-windows-disable-history-in-web-searches#post-33810 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:44:43 +0000 whs 33810@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>acdc, I believe the link is <a href='http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/'>http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/</a> -- with an "f" not "ph". But that aside, yes, CCleaner would wipe the temporary file out, but they get quickly rebuilt as you search. I think the poster is looking for a setting from within Safari that I unfortunately don't know - I use Opera. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/safari-for-windows-disable-history-in-web-searches#post-33806 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:26:52 +0000 acdc 33806@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hello. You can find a nice working cleaning program which also works with Windows Vista. It is called "CCleaner" (from Crap Cleaner). It also clears the history of safari for windows.<br /> You can find it at <a href='www.philehippo.com.'>www.philehippo.com.</a> I'm using it a few years already and it really works great.</p> <p>Greetings,<br /> acdc </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/safari-for-windows-disable-history-in-web-searches#post-33776 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:47:18 +0000 dbar2 33776@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hi I have safari for windows 3.1.2<br /> Quick question... when I type <a href='www.cnet.com'>www.cnet.com</a> or <a href='www.digg.com'>www.digg.com</a> or any other addresses,<br /> a complete list comes down containing all my bookmarks...<br /> ie..
