Hello. I just want to know how to remove website search data when on the PS3. I mean this by that I want the "prediction" results to stop showing websites and just show the words, something like the search results resetting itself. Just annoying to me how I might be searching for a word in the "prediction" box but then I accidentally hit a website link instead. Thanks.
 
Haha I get the feeling someone's trying to cover up his dirty tracks hahahahaha ;) JK man, it should be in the settings somewhere or a Google search I bet would get you results.
 
I don't think you can remove them from the "predictive text dictionary" unless you delete the dictionary completely.
 
Here’s how to delete and clear the history on the PS3, press triangle again when you are in the history window and at the top you will see “Delete all” now press “X” button and a confirmation screen will appear “All history will be deleted are you sure you want to continue” go to “Yes” and press “X”. History cleared.

Also try this:

* Open Browser
* Press the triangle button with the controller
* Go to “Tools” now press the right arrow or the X button
* You should now be in Internet tools, this is where you can delete cookies, web cache and search history
* Select one and hit the X button and follow the instructions

Another thing to keep in mind is when you type in words in a search bar or in the address bar, the PS3 remember what you typed and displays it on the right window next to the keyboard for convenience, of coarse you may not want this because other people can what you typed in. So to clear that, go to the main menu (XMB) and scroll to Settings -> System settings ->Delete predictive text dictionary, press “X” and confirm.

Predictive Text and the Browser Search History are two different things. The method mentioned by coreyvf is the correct way of handling it.
