How to Clear Safari Search History

Do you need to delete the recent search keywords that pop up every time you click Safari's URL bar? We can quickly delete all recent search keywords, regardless of which version of Safari we are using. With iOS devices, you can clear all recent searches by deleting all browsing history. Note: Deleting search history is different from deleting browsing history. Search history is all the keywords you've entered into the search bar, and browsing history is a list of all the websites you've visited. To clear your browsing history, click here.
