Remove Items from Websites' Text-box History List

[dude99]

Basically just make it similar to the history dropdown list from browser's search field.

Reason: It's very inconvenience when you input wrong text into a specific textbox on a website & Vivaldi keeps it in the history list for that website textbox with no way to remove it. It clutters the list & causes confusion.

Thanks.

Try this: chrome://settings/autofill
I just deleted all autofills today, so I can't test it. But seems like you can only delete addresses and credit card info on this page, everything else – e.g. searches probably can't be deleted selectively.

@luetage Yep. That's why i made this feature request.

It seems those stored text isn't related to autofill, i don't know what they are call but it just not possible to be clear, or delete individual item from the list.

I suspect that this information is stored in cookies for the website. The only way would be to clear the entire history by deleting cookies for the website.

@pesala Tried your suggestion.
But it doesn't work.

@dude99 Right, that's also what I found when I tested it just now.

What did work for me was to delete Form Autofill Data in Delete Private Data.

That deleted Autofill entries on the High-Logic support forum, but not on YouTube. I wonder why that is?

[dude99]

@pesala Hmm... Maybe youtube also storing data in Cookies & Storage?

Thanks for your suggested solution. But unfortunately it also delete all useful stored text in other websites. It's an All-or-nothing solution.

I hope we can simply delete individual item & keep the rest useful data, currently i don't think there is anyway to do that. We will need the V team to implant that.

How to remove all searches from ALL websites not just search engines/browsers.
How to remove all your old searches that keep popping up on ALL websites you visit. This is not just search engines/browsers like Google, Bing, etc because they all have a "clear browsing history" so this is not for that simple fix this simple fix is to remove past searches from popping up on any/all websites you visit and using in their search bars.

Open Control Panel + Internet Options + General
In General see; Browsing history then click on Delete (Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, and saved passwords and web form information).
I use Chrome only and doing this did not remove my pc's saved passwords but it did remove my past searches from popping up on any/all websites i'd visit in their search bars..
I have (the awful, obtrusive, and annoying) Windows 10.
