Hi,
My safari version is 9.1.1 and I am using El Capitan.
I opened "Show History" screen of safari and searched for the word "food". This search brought 229 results but most of the results are unrelated to the word "food". Can someone please tell why safari is behaving like this? If I search using Chrome or Firefox, only related results are shown. But safari is bringing everything.
I am inserting screenshot.
Thanks.

Might be a cache issue ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari then try searching your history.
Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for your response. I deleted the Cache.db file, relaunched Safari but nothing changed. Search is still showing irrelevant results.
Did you try Safari search? Do you get accurate results?
I think Safari is searching content of the website along with Website and Address fields. Is it possible to configure Safari to look for the search word only in the Website and Address fields?
The Website and Address fields are visible when History window is open.
Safari gurus, please suggest any available options. Appreciate it.
Hello !
Take the cursor on top menu bar & click on history > show history .In the search field as shown with the red arrow in the screen shot type the desired word .
I already did that. Please see the screenshot I inserted. I entered the word "food" in the search field (bottom right of the screen).
But there are many search results that don't have anything to do with the word "food".
