Show request history in Yandex. Yandex.Wordstat: instructions for use. How to delete data stored in other Google services

03.03.2020

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. When you surf the Internet, you use two mandatory tools for this task - a browser and a search engine (in RuNet this is most often Yandex).

Both of them know how to lead and store history of your visits, page views and search queries that you entered. If necessary, you can restore the chronology of events and find the page that you opened yesterday, or the query that you entered into Yandex search six months ago. It is very comfortable.

But often the opposite situation arises, when you need to erase all traces of your activity on the network. In this case, you have a question: how to delete history in Yandex? How to “clean up after yourself” in your browser? How to find and remove all other traces?

Today I just want to draw your attention to this topic. We will talk about both cleaning your searches and deleting all traces of your online activities in your browser (including the Yandex browser).

How to view the history of searches and views in Yandex?

As I mentioned above, history is kept not only by the browser, but also by search engines. For example, in Yandex, a special set of tools called "My Finds".

P.S. Unfortunately, Yandex developers considered this functionality unnecessary (unclaimed by users) and removed it completely. Now you won’t be able to dig into the history of your searches. Although, it seems they left it.
I decided not to delete the information below so that you can see what it all looked like before, if anyone finds it interesting.

It is there that you can delete the entire history of your communication with this search engine and, if desired, generally refuse to keep a log of your views and visits (although it may be useful, for example, in order to restore a page lost in bookmarks to which you came from Yandex, which is very convenient).

Which is used by more than half of RuNet users. Recently, we already looked at its settings, in particular, we talked in detail about, and also discussed in detail the issue: at a professional level. But the settings of this search engine are not limited to this, because there are also settings for the history of your visits, which are definitely worth touching on.

So, first you will need to go to the main page of this search engine. It is from this that we can get to the settings section we need, which are accessible from the drop-down menu of the gear located in the upper right corner.

We select the lowest item “Other settings”, and on the page that opens we will be interested, in terms of studying the history of your actions in Yandex, two items of the menu given there:

When you click on the item “Search results settings” you can at the very bottom of the page that opens allow or block the search engine from logging with the history of your search queries, pages visited, and you can also separately prohibit or allow the use of this data to generate search results and search suggestions.

Here you can only sort of disable or enable history recording, but you can see what has already been recorded by clicking on the inscription “My finds” (in both screenshots above). Here you will find a lot of interesting things and will be able to restore previously found but then lost information. Yandex search history is quite a powerful tool:

Here, using the switch located in the upper left corner, you can again stop or re-enable event log recording. In the left column you can separately view the history of your search queries, products in the Yandex Market store, and you can also save and download (export) all this data if necessary.

At the very top there is a time line, which will very quickly allow you to move to the moment where you want to find something or, conversely, delete it from the history of your visits on Yandex. If you have accumulated a huge number of requests, views and other requests, you can use history search, whose line is located directly above the timeline. Oddly enough, this is not at all an obvious action - searching according to search results.

How to partially delete or completely clear history in Yandex?

P.S. As I wrote above, Yandex completely destroyed the “My Finds” service, but the opportunity remained "Clear query history" on the linked page. There you can click on the button of the same name.

As you've probably already noticed, you don't have to clear the entire history, but delete some individual requests or pages visited, simply by clicking on the cross next to them. This request and all the pages you went to when searching for an answer to it will be deleted.

For example, when viewing the Yandex Market magazine, you can delete individual viewed products from it, or you can clear the entire history using the button of the same name located at the top:

By the way, I forgot to say that the search history will be saved (written) only if you are authorized in Yandex (you can see your login in the upper right corner). If you are not authorized, then no “My Finds” will be available to you, which means there will be nothing to clear.

Yandex, of course, still keeps its own internal statistics, but there you will appear only as the IP address of your computer or as the one through which you searched. You won’t be able to delete this history (only), but almost no one will be able to access it, so you don’t have to worry about it. IMHO.

If you want to, . If this doesn’t seem enough, then , which allows you to leave virtually no traces on the network, so you don’t have to delete your history on Yandex or anywhere else.

Yes, I almost forgot to tell you, how to clear all Yandex history en masse, not one at a time. To do this, on the “My Finds” page you will need to click on the “Settings” button located in the upper right corner:

Well, on the page that opens you can both stop recording and completely clear the already accumulated history using the button there:

This is all about the search engine and the statistics of your activity maintained in it.

How to view and clear Yandex Browser history?

However, the history is kept not only by the search engine, but also by the browser you use. If this is enough (see), then it also keeps a history of views and pages you visited, which means there may be an urgent need to clear it. How to do it? Let's get a look.

To call the history clearing window, you can use key combination Ctrl+Shift+Delete, while in the browser window, or go from the button menu with three horizontal stripes in the browser settings and find the “Clear history” button there.

In both cases, the same window will open for deleting the history of your Internet browsing using the Yandex browser:

Here you need to select the period for which the entire history will be deleted (for complete cleaning It’s better to choose the “All time” option, check the required fields, and click on the corresponding button below. That's it, your browser history will be completely cleared.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Helpful advice
You can delete not only your query history, but also passwords saved by your browser, data entered into web forms, temporary files to reduce page loading speed, cookies (saving your preferences for certain websites), snapshots of especially visited sources on the quick access page .

This is an extremely relevant topic. Many people use Yandex.Stroy in Windows or shape Yandex search in browser. Traditionally, answers to popular queries and search tips are displayed in the input field itself as a live search. This is very convenient, but... search engines, including Yandex, collect information about your interests on the Internet, then try to guess your preferences taking into account these interests. Those. It’s worth looking for a recipe for buns in Yandex once, and the next time as soon as you enter the letter “P”, a bunch of hints with the word “bun” will pop up. This indirectly indicates your past search history and online interests. Sometimes a computer is used by more than one person, and you don't always want the other person to see your search history. How to delete queries in the Yandex search bar if you don’t want to share your interests with other people, read on.

We will look at what to do when using the search bar in the browser and for search in Yandex on the taskbar Windows.

To prevent hints from popping up in the browser

First thing. We delete the search history in the browser itself. This does not apply to Yandex search, but what's the point of hiding your past queries if you can easily find a list of all visited sites in your browser.

You can see how to clear your browser history in the pictures. Or find more details on the Internet if your browser is not listed below.

It is also possible clear cookies after each search use. In this case, the search history information will no longer be associated with your browser. After clearing your cookies, search suggestions will no longer contain any information about you.

However, the easiest way to set up is " Personal search" so that the suggestions do not reveal information about your search history.

The algorithm is as follows:

How to delete requests in Yandex String

In Windows 10, Yandex.String is located on the taskbar, default. Yandex.String makes it possible to carry out a search query on the Internet directly from the taskbar without directly launching the browser. Another line searches folders on your computer. And can react to voice commands. Quite convenient and safe if only you use the computer.

Where does Yandex.Stroke get search suggestions?

The string draws information from multiple sources

list of links on request from Yandex search
links to sections of the selected site
answers to popular Yandex queries
computer media indexing results (HDD, SSD, etc.)

All browsers use a specially allocated cache memory to store files and information. This memory section stores all previously entered search queries user, this is designed for ease of use when re-typing of this request the browser will offer options for automatically inserting this phrase.

Also, request data can be stored on servers search engines, to cancel this, you should prevent servers from storing information. We will look at how to clear data from the search string in this article.

Instructions

Google Chrome

In order to this browser set a ban on automatically entering information into the search bar, and also to clear information located in the cache section, you need to perform the steps described below:

Opera

Open the settings tab for this web browser by clicking the corresponding icon on the toolbar or pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F12. Look in the Search tab and uncheck the box next to "Enable search suggestions." Save the changes by clicking on the OK button and open the “Advanced” section. Select the "History" option and in the "Disk Cache" group, select "Clear". Click OK and close the settings tab.

Mozilla Firefox(from our portal)

In the browser window, go to the “Settings” section and select the “Privacy” category. Run the "Clear your recent history" command. In the window that loads, you need to specify the time interval for which you want to erase the history and check the boxes next to the lines “Cache” and “Search Form Log”. Execute the “Clear Now” command and close the settings by clicking on the OK button.

Browser history- this is the place in the program where all the Internet pages that you opened on the computer are recorded.

Viewing history in Yandex is very simple: you just need to click on the button with three horizontal lines (top right), select History and History again.

A list of all the pages you have visited will appear. Here you can delete them by clicking on “Clear history” on the right.

A small window will appear with three checkboxes. At the top of it, from the list, you can select the period of time for which you want to delete records.

Actually, if you understand everything here, you can simply click on the “Clear history” button. But for those who are curious, I will still explain what is hidden behind each point :)

Download history. Records of those files that you downloaded from the Internet are erased (but not the files themselves!).

By the way, by default they are “folded” into a computer folder called “Downloads”. If you want to hide them, don't forget to clean out this folder too.

Files saved in cache. A cache is a special browser storage that stores data that can speed up work with certain sites.

For example, the site is replete with various visual elements (animation, pictures, etc.). When you open it, the browser has to download a lot of different files in order to show these elements. And if you go there often, this procedure will cause a number of difficulties: the amount of data to download can be large, and this is an additional waste of time and traffic.

The cache is designed to avoid similar situations and speed up your browser. But if this storage is full, then the program, on the contrary, will start to work more slowly (slow down). Clearing the cache solves this problem.

Cookies and other site and module data. Thanks to "cookies", you are automatically logged into certain sites: your mail, pages in in social networks etc. If you check this box and clear the history in the Yandex browser, this data will be erased. This means that you will not be able to enter your personal space on a particular site unless you enter your username and password.

After such cleaning, many novice users cannot get into their mailbox or page on Odnoklassniki - they simply do not know their logins and passwords. Like this in a simple way many lose access to them forever. Therefore, before deleting cookies you must make sure that you remember all logins/passwords for your pages.

Leaving cookies is dangerous in some situations. After all, if another person uses your computer, he will receive full access to all personal accounts. This means he will be able to read all your correspondence.

Passwords. If you check this box, all passwords that Yandex.Browser remembers will be deleted.

If other people have access to your computer, it is better not to save this data in the browser at all, or at least use proven password storage programs such as LastPass.

Autofill and form data. When you fill out a form somewhere on the site (indicate your first name, last name, phone number, etc.), Yandex remembers this data. The next time you fill out similar forms, he will offer to select them from a list. This is convenient when you have to enter the same information frequently.

Summary: when clearing history, the first three points (where there are already checkmarks) are mandatory and completely safe. Other data should be deleted only if you remember all your logins/passwords (from email, pages on social networks, etc.).

Other ways to clear history

Hotkeys . For those who like it to be fast, there is a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + Delete

Press the keyboard key Ctrl without releasing it, Shift and, without releasing both of these buttons, Delete (del). Immediately after this, the log clearing window will appear.

Through the menu. If, on the contrary, you don’t like hot keys, then this window can also be called up through the browser menu: - Advanced - Clear history.

Deleting individual pages

Let's say you suspect that while you're away, your computer might be subject to scrutiny. For example, a wife realizes that instead of donating to orphanages and cat shelters, half of her salary goes to dating sites.

Then you should clean up individual entries - because if you delete everything, it may look suspicious.

2. In the list, hover the cursor over the unwanted site. WITH right side a small arrow appears. Click on it and select “Delete from history.”

You can also select “More from the same site” and find its other pages to immediately delete them all.

How to delete multiple pages at once

If there are a lot of pages to delete, you can use the bulk method of erasing them.

1 . Place the cursor on the page. Instead of its icon on the left appears empty window- click on it.

2. In this way, we mark all the pages that need to be removed and click on the inscription “Delete selected elements” (at the top).

Search history

It happens that you need to find and delete some page that was opened a long time ago. Then manually searching through sites can be a very long and tedious task. Yes, and it’s not a fact that you will be able to find this page at all.

For this purpose, Yandex has a special search function. In the upper right corner, above the list of visited sites, there is a “Search in history” field. You need to enter some keyword into it.

For example, if we are looking for a site about fishing, then we enter the word “fishing”, “bream”, etc. into the field. Then all pages in the title of which this word appears will appear in the search results.

You can also search by site address, if you remember it. To do this, type its name in whole or in part in the field and press the Enter key on the keyboard.

Incognito mode

If you have to delete history often, and this is too tedious for you, then Yandex.Browser has a mode in which the history is not saved at all.

You can launch it using the key combination Ctrl + Shift + N or through the menu: - Incognito mode.

A new program window will open. It will be dark gray in color and look something like this:

It is through this window that you need to open sites so that they do not end up in the browsing log. To exit this mode, you just need to close this window.
