Recent Search History

How can I view my recent search history?

To facilitate lengthy study sessions that may last days or weeks, the website will keep track of your most recent searches. Within each tool there is a "View My History" button that shows you the last 10 most recent searches you've performed in that tool. You can click on any of the searches and it will open up that same page again. This is a great way to perform and reference multiple searches at once. It's like having multiple windows open, but they are all conveniently accessible through this Search History drop down menu, which saves you a lot of space on your desktop.

You can also go to the Recent Searches page in your account and flip through each of the study tools to get a comprehensive view of the searches you've made and when you made them. This can be helpful if you want to return to an old study topic that you got interrupted from. From this Recent Searches page you can delete individual searches one by one by clicking on the X next to each line, or clear all history in one click by clicking the "Clear History" button. When you do that it will delete all the history for that specific tool only.
