SM2. I have a question about the History Preference in the browser.
What I was seeing was a very long list when I typed locations into the
Location Bar. I want a shorter list there. There are three settings of
interest to me:
Always remember visited pages for at least [__] days
I reset it to 7 days.
Remember visited pages for up to [__] days
I reset this to 3 days.
What is the difference between the above two settings? I'm reading
Help but maybe it's too early in the morning for me to see a difference?
Remember up to [__] visited pages
This is currently set for 40,000 pages. That seems a little high to
me. It's default is to remember forty thousand visited pages? And
what's the difference between this setting and the other two?
I figure this all depends on my browsing habits. For example, I'll
probably visit Amazon.com once a month and I like to type in is
Amazon. I might go to TigerDirect.com every three months and all I
need to type in is TigerDirect. Right now, when I type those in I'm
seeing every TigerDirect web page I've visited in my lifetime and two
previous lifetimes. I'm kidding about that previous lifetimes but I do
get a very long list that drops down under the Location Bar.
So what would be a better starting place for the above three settings?
Can't answer your first few questions, but for frequently visited
(favorite) sites you should be using bookmarks, not autocomplete.
Maybe you could tell me what your settings are for the items I ask
about? I know how to use bookmarks. 8-)
