Hello there,
I think I may have potentially found a small bug with CCleaner and Google Chrome.
It would appear that my previous searches through the URL bar are not being cleared. If I run CCleaner, launch Chrome again and start typing my search query into the address bar, my previous searches are still visible.
My current Chrome version is: 23.0.1271.97.
No Chrome processes running after it has been closed.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Cheers,
Matt
are you signed into chrome?
if so google stores your url history on their clouddy
EDIT: also how does this issue related to your thread from earlier this month?
Nope, Chrome is not signed in / synced.
It's not related to the previous issue that I'd posted, so I thought it best to report the new issue separately. Should I have just added this additional issue to the other post? If so, my apologies.
EDIT: Previous issue was that the history would remain intact and wasn't being cleared. This issue is slightly different, in that now nothing is listed in my web history, but I'm still getting previous Google searches appear in my URL bar. E.g. 'Piriform Support Forums - Google Search' will appear if I type 'Pi'.
ok, cool, just wanted to make sure it was different, which I would judge it to be for the same reasons you did.
Just in case, what was the "just a bug" which fixed the other one?
EDIT
I assume you mean the omnibox?

And you're sure these are history items that show and not Google's predictive services? https://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=95656

can you provide a screenshot
With regards to the other issue - It went away after I updated CCleaner to a newer (currently latest) version. CCleaner was up-to-date at the time I was experiencing the previous issue, but was prompted shortly after to update to the newest version which fixed the issue, so I'd assumed it was a fix included with the new release.
I can't seem to get those links to work, mate, but I assume that it is in fact the omnibox. And no, these are definitely previous searches as they appear differently to the search suggestions.
Screenshot taken after having ran CCleaner.
EDIT: Not sure if screenshot attached? Tried again..
EDIT #2: I've managed to access the links.. looks like the '&' in the URL was the culprit. It is indeed the omnibox. Should also add that if I use 'Clear Browser Data' from within Chrome, the results are cleared.
New to Forum - can't figure out how to post a question - so I will try this reply ....
Even when Firefox is closed - I get message "Internet Cache skipped" - anyone know Why

Hello. You might have some Firefox-related processes running in the background. Check your Task Manager for processes named firefox.exe & plugin_container.exe and end the processes.
Which CCleaner & Firefox version are you using?
Windows version?
Me again, I seem to be experiencing this issue again on my Desktop PC.
Windows 8 Pro with Media Center (x64)
Chrome version: 26.0.1410.64 m
I'm not sure whether this is relevant, but when I first installed Windows 8 (before creating a user profile), I used sysprep to change the user directory location to D:\Users (as opposed to C:\Users).
Everything else seems to be cleared properly, I can just see my previous searches when I begin typing.
I'm not signed in with a Google Account, so it's not going to be present through Sync.
Cheers
