I am pretty diligent about keeping my system clean (viruses, spyware, cookies, temp files, etc.), but I have never been able to figure out where the auto-fill data is stored for search engine queries (yahoo/google/etc.) Can anyone shed any light?
Thanks in advance!

Tools > Internet Options > Content tab > AutoComplete
Also, in index.dat (http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3559) files.
And welcome to the forums. :)

To delete the content of the Index.dat file you will need something like Spider http://www.fsm.nl/ward
The index dat file is deleted and re-made when you re-boot the computer.

Perfect. I got it down to less than 100kb from more than 4mb.
Thanks again for the replies.
