Email hoarders are most likely to be overwhelmed by their inbox, but for many others, deleting everything right after you read it isn't always a possibility.

Even people who are meticulous about labeling their messages or assigning them to folders can find locating that family reunion photo or old email from their boss difficult. That's where Gmail's search feature comes in. Gmail search keeps track of previous inbox searches you've made when scrolling through your messages is too tedious. You can quickly locate emails based on the sender, the date, subject line, message text, and more.

When trying to locate a message using the search box, you can either type out keywords or let Gmail auto-populate the search term after you type a few letters. But just like your inbox, over time, these searches can pile up. This can become inefficient if it keeps bringing up a search term you used months or even years ago, slowing you down from finding the email you need.

Gmail search allows users to delete search terms from their history to erase your growing list so old words no longer auto-populate. The easiest way to do this is to through your Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer web browser if you're already signed into your Gmail account there. You can also erase search history on your mobile device through the Gmail app.

Here's how to do it.
