How do you clear the search history in the Android Market Search?

[sabrewulf]

Not sure if this has been covered before or not, but it's pretty annoying having that list. I can imagine it growing bigger and bigger as time passes. There's gotta be a way to clear this search history?

There is an app out in the market called HistoryEraser. It will erase all your search histories. Good luck!

Go into settings applications then market clear cache and delete market. It will not actually delete the market just the update. Exit out reboot phone click market icon agree it to it you will be good. I do this once a week.

I just tried this and it worked for me. What I did is went into settings -> applications -> manage apps -> market -> clear cache and then I also uninstalled updates. Seems to act like a factory reset of sorts for marketplace. But it still remembers what apps you have installed, etc.

I don't know what negative effects it has if any, but at least you don't have to install a seperate app/or be rooted to do it. I also have no idea on how it works for paid apps either as I don't have any.

 

[watersrules]

definitely use historyeraser
