Implement a way to clean the history

[kelson42]

both search & navigation history.

Assuming it works :) Thx for being so reactive!

It seems to clean only the search history, not the navigation history. To do so, you have to force to stop the application, which is not really user friendly.

Yes, only clean search history. Because it is in setting -> search -> history.

Search history is persist on disk, so it make sense to clean it. So does article reading history. Should navigation history be able to be cleared? (You don't clear a tab's navigation stack in a browser) I don't know...

[kelson42]

What matters is to provide a solution to clean navigation traces: all kind of them. To my opinion one option to clear both navigation and search is goo and. Current tabs are left open - but history is removed (similar workflow like in firefox).

Both clear browsing history and search history function is added in commit 4d05217

@automactic 1.8.1 dies if I click on 'clear search history'

[automactic]

@kelson42 Oops...

[automactic]

would also be useful if there is an option to turn off search history

[kelson42]

@automactic To me two things seem to still do not work correctly:

• the back/forward arrows keep their blue color (although the history is cleared), they should be grey
• the current page loaded is removed, it should be kept.

The clean search seems to work fine.

[automactic]

This is fixed. Another planned feature is to disable search history at all.
