Clear search results from web view

Question

How can I clear search results from WebView? I used clearFormData(), clearHistory() methods but when I click on search field on https://google.com it shows me my previous search results.

UPDATE: The answer i've received clears history but not clears search results.

@AntonA. because somebody who use kotlin for android may know the answer. just to receive more feedback — Nazarii Moshenskiy, Sep 19 '18 at 14:31
it's android specific question. kotlin is related to android. I added all tags which relate to my question. more precise tags == better — Nazarii Moshenskiy, Sep 19 '18 at 14:34

The answer was WebStorage.getInstance().deleteAllData();. Only this clears previous search results.

Sounds like you need to clear the cookies via the CookieManager. Here's an example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31950789
