Search history Effects on SERPS

[bronxpad]

With search engines using adaptive search in their algo, what's the best way to reset? Currently I go to my browser which primarily is Safari second Firefox third Chrome, I empty the cache, clear history and remove all cookies and data. I also disable customerzation based on search history. Is this the best way of starting from scratch so my search results won't incorporate adaptive search tech? I also make sure I'm not signed into my gmail account since that can impact SERPS as well. What else should I be doing to make sure my search is not customized?

edit: removed my tip in view of the superior tip from Adam Whittles. I do, however, stand by CCleaner as a great way of clearing all cookies, cache, etc, in all browsers at the same time.

Thanks for the tip. Is there an app for the iPhone and iPad or something similar?

I just setup custom google search engines in Chrome and adapt the search parameters to remove all personalization from searches.

Works for me!

Great tip, hadn't occurred to me for some reason. Here's a post from Rob Ousbey at Distilled going into more detail about how to do it.
