How to delete your saved search terms

permanent link · Topic/Watson

Since the 1.7 version of Watson came out last week, I've been deluged with e-mails (OK, maybe a dozen) asking how to delete the saved search terms that show up in the combo boxes across the suite of Watson tools.

A great idea for a future version of Watson to provide this functionality! But if you want to clear out your saved searches now, there's a slightly more elegant solution than throwing away your entire prefs file (which is a baby-with-the-bath-water approach).

Check out Watson's Grab Bag page for an AppleScript that will delete the saved searches for you (after quitting Watson).
