    I would like to have the search history from the aol gold removed from my browser

  • GEORGE C. MULLIKIN commented  ·   ·  Report

    we should have an option on the settings to remove those suggestion on the search items.

  • GAEL VALENTINE commented  ·   ·  Report

    Take those 9 names of those silly stupid people that you think I WANT TO SEARCH in my browser history. Put back MY BROWSING HISTORY WHICH NO LONGER SHOWS. Its bad enough so silly teenager wants to read about them I DON'T. The only thing I want to see in my browser history is MY SEARCHES.
    Next stop adding places you think I want in MY FAVORITES to the top of my personal list if I want to go to those sites I know how to find them, give me the option to remove them they take up too much space.
    I pay AOL GOLD and I am saying STOP ADDING FEATURES WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR CHOICE OR STOP CHARGING ME LIKE OTHER BROWSERS SITES AND BE FREE.

    I don't want the suggestions to show on the address search bar.

  • NANCY GARSON commented  ·   ·  Report

    my technical assistant, MJ was exceedingly patient and helpful. HOWEVER, WHAT THE **** HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE AUTO-SUGGESTION IN THE ADDRESS BAR??!! Rather than my previous website addresses that have come up for 20 years, there are random and bizarre names of actors, etc--some even dead--that I care nothing about!!!REDO THAT FUNCTION AS IT WAS ASAP!!!!!!!!!
    pLS RESPOND AND LET ME KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE CHANGED BACK--i AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS ARE FURIOUS!!!

    My history lists searches that I have not made and I cannot clear them from my history.

  • GARY D. BEGIN commented  ·   ·  Report

    The address bar on my aol browser has an autofill problem that does not allow me to easily access websites. When typing in a specific url, it will often direct me to a previously viewed site and will not permit me to finish typing in the url for the site I wish to visit. This issue is extremely annoying and time consuming because of the difficulty reaching the URL I intend to visit. It also creates a privacy issue for anyone else who might wish to use this computer.

    wont clear all my history. And I want to clear my browsing history when I clear the caches and cookies to avoid error on my AOL desktop gold.

  • ARLINE GEORGE commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please bring back the Browser History. All I had to do before was click on the website I wanted to revisit. Now I have to type it all over again. You replaced it with a list of things, most of which I have no interest in or knowledge about. Browser History was one of the best things about AOL. I have no idea why you removed it, but plead with you to return it!!!!!

  • Sybil Kleinfeld commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is inconvenient added feature. Have it removed. Thank you.

  • Sybil Kleinfeld commented  ·   ·  Report

    The recommended search feature in aol desktop gold, should have a disable feature. It is very confusing. Should have a disable feature to people who doesn't need it.

  • speeddawg1 commented  ·   ·  Report

    when are you going to stop this stupid suggestions line in the address bar

  • ARLINE GEORGE commented  ·   ·  Report

    I wish you would stop trying to improve AOL by making it worse. Now you don't keep brower history, one of the best things. I once could look back at something i had looked at before. Now all you have is a list of things to search for. PLEASE KEEP BROWER HISTORY LISTED AS IT WAS!!!! (AND WHY DO WE STILL HAVE TO TERRIBE YELLOW-ORANGE ON EMAIL?

  • IMOGENE G. BOSEMAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is just so useless, and makes me feel that these stupid names are contaminating my work!!!

  • IMOGENE G. BOSEMAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please remove those stupid names and the word SEARCH from the Browser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that too much to ask of a computer company that is as old and reliable as AOL?

  • doncartledge commented  ·   ·  Report

    I do not want your pre selected browser items!!!!!!.....I need them gone!!! my computer is slower than before........I am fed up.......Don Cartledge

  • BEVERLY HILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Cant clean or remove the browser history, please do remove it now.

  • David Grix commented  ·   ·  Report

    I HATE what you have done with the suggestions and auto fill in the Internet search bar. WHY did you do this? If I try to type anything at normal speed, it misspells words by leaving two to five letters out because auto fill is attempting to keep up. If you simply type in google.com very slowly, it will take you to a google search from the past. I have NO interest in your "suggestions" and they are a pain in the butt. How about leaving an old version available before my wife and I cancel this ridiculous so called "upgrade?" Since 1996, this is the STUPIDEST thing AOL has done. It is NOT user friendly. I beta test programs myself and this should have been axed long ago.
