Recently, the Yandex company pleases users with a huge number of free services, such as "Yandex.taxi", "Alice", "Yandex.market", "Yandex.disk" and many other interesting developments. However, all these "innovations" have a downside in the form of obsessive options and additions. Sometimes getting rid of unnecessary content is so difficult from a technical point of view that the owners of smartphones, tablets, computers have to spend a huge amount of time to delete a line in the Yandex search engine or simply clean up the history of search queries.

How do I clear my search history?

To eliminate unnecessary search queries, the user will have to:

To carry out a similar operation from a smartphone, you will need:

1. Open the browser and go to the "Settings" section by tapping on the three dots in the upper corner of the display.
2. Go to the "Privacy" section and click on the interactive button "Clear data".
3. In the dialog box that opens, select the information to be liquidated, incl. cache, cookies, downloads, bookmarks, etc. Select unwanted items using the checkmark and click on the yellow "Clear data" button.
4. You can deactivate the switches opposite the functions "Save passwords", "Autocomplete form", "Save history", "Protect the connection when working in insecure networks", as well as configure notifications.

If the user is faced with the task of clearing the history of queries entered in the Yandex search bar, then the method of deletion will depend on the particular browser. So, to clear information in the Yandex browser:

To perform a similar operation in Google Chrome, you must follow the instructions:

The mechanism for clearing other browsers is not very different from the method for removing viewed web pages from Google Chrome. In order not to waste time clearing the history in the future, it is recommended to browse the web pages of interest in "Incognito Mode". This mode is activated by the combination Ctrl + Shift + N.

Note! After cleaning the browser, it is additionally recommended to optimize the PC in one of the available utilities in order to remove "garbage" from the temporary data folders ("AppData", "ProgramData" and "Temp"). For example, the free CCleaner utility, with its intuitive interface, is great. For a comprehensive cleaning of your computer, you will need to use the "Cleanup" and "Registry" tools located on the left side panel of CCleaner.

To clear the search history from a smartphone in the Yandex application, you will need:

1. Open the program, go to "Settings" (drop-down menu item that appears after clicking on the icon in the form of 3 dots).
2. Tap on the "Clear ..." function, confirm your intention by pressing the corresponding key in the displayed dialog box.
3. If necessary, deactivate the "Save query history" function using a special switch.

To delete only one page from the "History" section on your smartphone, you need:

1. Click on the tab navigation section.
2. Tap on the icon of the "History" section, which looks like a tab in the form of a clock.
3. Hold the corresponding page until the "Delete" command appears. Initiate uninstallation by clicking on the "Delete" function, or destroy all data at once by selecting "Clear history".

If the question is whether it is possible to delete the section with the account and mail located to the right of the Yandex line, then the answer is no. The search engine remembers the searched letters in order to optimize the fast search.

How do I turn off hints?

Search suggestions are query suggestions automatically generated by the system, which are designed to facilitate the process of formulating the desired query, but in fact can confuse or compromise the user. Unfortunately, you won't be able to completely disable search tips. In general, there are several types of such hints:

• Basic - appear when you enter a query in the built-in search engine on the main page of Yandex.
• Hints for queries previously entered by the user (when the user often types in certain keywords, the system remembers his preferences and, in order to optimize the web surfing process, issues them when entering the first letters of a similar query). These items are highlighted in blue.
• Hints for frequently visited sites. As in the previous one, they are highlighted in blue.

Only the last two types of hints can be deleted in the Yandex search bar. To carry out this operation, you will need:

Removing a search bar from a smartphone

The search bar can be embedded in the notification panel (status bar), or displayed on the device lock screen, providing the user with the ability to quickly access services from Yandex. In addition to the search bar, the screen may contain other information, for example, a traffic jam indicator or a weather widget.

Sometimes two or more Yandex search lines may appear on the Android display. It is not always possible to remove such elements using the traditional method. This happens, for example, when two applications, similar in functionality (browser, maps, voice assistant "Alice", "Yandex.Metro", etc.), are simultaneously installed on the device.

Where do these notification bar tools come from? Most often, it is enough to download an update to a program like Yandex.Maps and forget to remove the item about installing a special bar. Not every user can quickly figure out how to remove such an unwanted element from the phone, because the Yandex line is not in the list of programs.

To remove bar from the notification panel, you can try the following manipulations:

To restore a deleted Yandex line, just perform the reverse operation:

1. Go to the application from Yandex.
2. Go to "Settings" by tapping on the icon in the form of three dots (or lines).
3. Select the "Notification Panel" option and move the toggle next to the "Search Bar" function to the "On" position.

Sometimes, in order to delete a line that appears on the phone screen in the form of a search and weather widget, even if there is no installed application from Yandex, you need to do the following:

1. Press and hold the indicated object until a trash can icon appears on the screen.
2. All that remains is to manually move the object to the "Trash".

It happens that a bar on the main page or on the lock screen appears after installing an update for a browser or an application that is not related to Yandex (for example, in UC Browser or Google Chrome). To turn off an unwanted bar in this case, you must perform the following operations:

1. Go to browser settings.
2. Find the "Quick Find" tool and disable the element that is responsible for the appearance of the bar on the status bar.

On modern devices, most often to clean such unwanted software, you should double-click on the search engine field, in the opened application go to the Settings menu and deactivate the display of the visual element by simply unchecking the box of the corresponding command.

Of course, in order to permanently delete the Yandex search line in the phone, the "half measures" described above will not work. It is required to completely remove all installed applications of this publisher: only after performing this action, you can forever forget about intrusive prompts, bars and widgets, which are now and then tested by the software manufacturer under the guise of installing the next update. To remove a program from an Android device, you need to do the following:

Also, after removing such software, it is recommended to reset the device settings in order to get rid of the residual program components. But before that, you need to take advantage of the ability to save data using the Google Drive service and the "Backup" function, or transfer all available information from the device to a PC, since after cleaning the smartphone, all information located in the gadget's memory will be irrevocably deleted. To transfer data to the Google Drive server, you will need to perform the following manipulations:

1. Find "Google Drive" in the list of programs.
2. Click on the "+" sign - activate the "Add" option.
3. In the menu that opens, select "Upload" and select files to upload to "Disk".
4. All saved data will be placed on the Google Drive service: they can be viewed in the corresponding application. If necessary, the information can always be returned to the device.

A significant drawback of storing information on such servers is the fact that user data is not protected by double encryption: this means that there is a risk of access to information by third parties (even if the likelihood of such a scenario development is minimal).

To create a system backup, you will need:

1. Go to the "Settings" section by tapping on the gear icon.
2. Go to the "System" section, select the menu item "Add. settings ”, call the“ Backup ”tool and click on the“ Start copying ”button.

Now you can start factory reset and start cleaning your device:

1. Go to the main menu of the device, select the familiar system application "Settings".
2. Go to the "Recovery and reset" section.
3. Go down the screen and tap on the "Reset settings" option: the display will display a message stating that after initializing the system cleaning, all information will be deleted from the smartphone, including application settings and personal data of the owner of the gadget. You must give your consent by tapping the "Erase everything" interactive button.
4. The process of automatic reset of the device will start, after which the smartphone will be cleared: you will need to re-enter your account data, enter the password, set up keys to unlock the main screen of the application and start the data recovery process from the Google Drive service, or manually transfer the saved information from saved folder.

After carrying out a total reset of the smartphone settings, the Yandex remote search bar will no longer distract the user if he does not personally download it to the smartphone from the Play Market. It is recommended to check the downloaded content more carefully and not give your consent to the installation of unnecessary add-ons and plugins.

Removing the Yandex Line application

If the user needs to uninstall an early analogue of Alice, the Yandex String program, then to carry out this operation, he will need to use the standard operating system tools or a third-party utility.

In the first case, you will need to perform the following manipulations:

It is almost impossible to raise your site on your own by a high-frequency commercial request to the first lines of search results. To do this, you need to have very large financial capabilities and a good promotion strategy in Yandex. That is why Yandex search tips have become popular, or rather, their output when requested. The higher the user's interest in a particular query, the more favorable position he has when displaying search suggestions.

• the more clicks, the higher the hint position
• in order for the hint to stay in its position, it must be constantly labeled
• Yandex decides when the hint will go to the list and determines the duration of its stay there
• Yandex has the right to remove or replace the hint
• therefore, we recommend that you regularly change and update the departed tips. Updating and adding new tips contributes to more active website promotion. Yandex sees that visits to the site occur using different words and phrases, which means that the site is in demand and is interesting to the user
• the click of each key request helps to increase the CTR of the site and its promotion.

4 STEP
