If you share your PC with others or use public PCs you better protect your privacy by clearing your browser and toolbar search history. Today i would like to review the process you need to follow in order to delete Dogpile history and recent searches from the Dogpile toolbar. Dogpile is a metacrawler that uses an intelligent algorithm in order to aggregate search results from the most popular web searches (Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask). Dogpile offers a toolbar (that requires IE to run…) which allows you to easily search the web from your Internet Explorer browser. Toolbars are in general quite handy, however you must be aware to the fact that they record your search history, and thus compromise your privacy.

Here’s a quick step by step process in order to delete your Dogpile toolbar history:

1. Open your Internet Explorer browser
2. Click the Dopgile icon in the left hand side of the toolbar, and choose Clear History
   
3. In case you want to turn off the Dogpile search history, you can click the Dogpile icon and click Toolbar Settings.
4. In the Search Settings section of the Toolbar tab (the first from the left) uncheck the Turn Off Search History checkbox. This will prevent Dogpile from keeping records of your recent searches.
