How you can remove your Facebook search history

How you can remove your Facebook search history

Facebook keeps a record of everything you search for on its Web site. Check out this How To do guide for cleaning up the list, or just restrict what information Facebook is gathering about you.
Every time you look for a friend, business, or personality on Facebook, Facebook saves it to your search history. This makes it straightforward for you to discover what you were looking for afterwards without much effort. Unfortunately, the search history might be cluttered with queries that don't require quick access -- like someone you've already become friends with, a brand you're already following.
If you want to restrict some of the data Facebook is holding about you, or just tidy up the list, it's just a few clicks away. Here's what to do step by step:

 1: Click on the Settings log in the top-right corner. Choose the Activity Log option from the menu.

 2: You will see all of your recent Facebook activity. Under Photos, Likes, and Comments in the left side menu bar, click More, then choose Search.

3: All of your search history, provided you haven't deleted it before, will appear. Individual searches can be removed by clicking the block icon and then Remove. If you want to clear all of it, click on the Clear Searches link at the top.
What are your thoughts about the Search history feature? Do you think Facebook should be allowed to save all of your search queries? Do you ever find the search history beneficial to revisit something you were searching for in the past? Let us know what you think in the comments.
