Joan and all: I have Win XP and AOL 9.0 Security Edition. The "Search" icon with the magnifying glass up at the top right side is the search that I use. It has a recent "Search History" box down below, and when you click on the little arrow to the right of where you type in what you are searching you see your Recent Search History. You can "Clear All" or "Turn Off" whenever you wish. I think it's great. Velma
