In Google Chrome, is it possible to delete all search history that matches a specific query (for example, en.wikipedia.org)?
Answer
Update Jan 2019
Now Chrome supports the keyboard shortcut CtrlA or ⌘A
Original answer
You can take the hacker shortcut injecting JavaScript code.
Step 1 Since Chrome history is queried inside a iFrame, we have to visit: chrome://history-frame/ (copy and paste URL)
Step 2 Do the search query.
Step 3 Open the Chrome console(F12 or CtrlShifti or ⌘⌥i) and execute:
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; ++i) {
if (inputs[i].type == "checkbox"){
inputs[i].checked = true;
}
}
document.getElementById("remove-selected").disabled = false
Step 4 Hit the 'Remove selected items' button.
Actually this deletes the elements in the current page. I might try to extend it, but it's a good starting point. Read the full article in my blog.
