Facebook, now Meta, is one of those online platforms. Facebook saves your entire search history, but you can easily delete individual searches or wipe your entire search history from your phone or browser.

And given all the controversy surrounding Facebook and its privacy policy, wiping your entire search history might not be such a bad thing.
