Whenever I visit a certain a website, Google chrome somehow still has the exact input I typed in to perform a search. Every time I go back to the website, it automatically executes that same original search over again.

How do I make Google Chrome forget that I was ever there, and give me a fresh page each time I go to it?

you could try visiting in Incognito Mode – Brandon Kreisel Feb 15 at 5:27

You can clear your cache and cookies--maybe even clear your saved auto fill form data. In Chrome, do the following:

  1. Go to Tools > Clear Browsing Data...
  2. Under Obliterate the following items from:, change it to The beginning of time
  3. Place a check mark next to Empty the cache
  4. Place a check mark next to Delete cookies and other site plugin data
  5. Place a check mark next to Clear saved Autofill form data
  6. Click Clear browsing data
  7. Refresh the browser or revisit the page

This should make Chrome forget you were ever there.

That'll kill everything for every site, no? Isn't there a way to do a more surgically precise removal of the data just for that site? – Al Everett Feb 15 at 13:49
Yes I found it. YOU can simply click "Clear Browsing HIstory" and you can select from when (i.e. the past hour) – Imray Feb 15 at 18:41
