I've tried deleting the google cookies, but no joy.
If you must know, I'm planning a surprise for my wife and I don't want her to know where I've been looking as it would give the game away.

If you load the google toolbar (Google/Advanced), I think you can specify to delete all searches whenever you exit the browser window.

That will also delete all other internet passwords for other sites too like PH. Will annoy the hell out of her if she logs onto any sites that needs usernams/passwords.

All yer have to do is wait for the drop down list after you typed say 'a', cursor down to highlight a search and press the delete button . Hold down the delete to do the lot.
