So, I just proposed and am looking at honeymoon places, but want it to be a surprise to my fiance...so, I am deleting my cache to safari (resetting safari) every time I exit, yes I lose EVERYTHING, but I don't want her to find out SO, I was looking up something and when I started to type a word in spotlight one of the honeymoon places came up with all the web pages I visited in relation to it...

I know how to empty the caches, I used onyx, I even re indexed the drive...I don't want the suprise to get ruined, but don't know how to get rid of them...

I know it sounds weird, but any help would be much appreciated.

Instead of resetting Safari, use the Private Browsing feature in the Safari menu.

Those are in ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/History. Resetting the History Safari deletes those as well for me. I just tried. Spotlight then doesn't find any history items any more.

Next time you browse for honeymoon places turn on Safari's Private Browsing feature (in its Safari menu). This way the history isn't even saved right from the start. So you don't arouse suspicion from a deleted history.

I reset safari and they were still there...I used onyx and they were still there...then I deleted them, went to a web page, reset safari and they were gone?

Is that normal LOL?

And THANK YOU

I've had Spotlight "remember" something before, even after forcing a re-indexing of the drive. It's not really in the index -- probably just in memory. I logged out and logged back in and the stale results no longer showed up.
