Save history for Search Bar: Check this to keep searches available later. For example, if you type in a search like, "coolest software in the world" then later you'll be able to type in just the first few characters to display a list.

1. Type in keywords and search:
Search-History-Enter-Keywords
2. Later, start another search:
Search-History-Enter-Start-New-Search
3. As you type, your previous searches are narrowed down:
Search-History-Keyphrase-Appears
4. Use your arrow keys to select one of the saved searches or click on one of them.

Delete Search History: If you've opted to save your searches for later use, you may want to periodically clean them out and start fresh. Click this button to delete all your searches from memory.

An example of a good time to delete you search history is after you've been searching for birthday gifts or Christmas gifts for someone in the house and you don't want them to accidentally find out what you're thinking about buying for them.

Add ALToolbar Search to right-click menu: This adds options for searching with ALToolbar to your Internet Explorer right-click context menu.

Search Run Settings: These options let you decide how you want to allow the Search Bar to be opened. Each option is self-descriptive.
