Please follow this path to solve ur problem. Tools > internet options> content > auto complete > clear forms. To stop the generation of history in the search bar in the future, please uncheck the box of forms. It will certainly solve ur problem. Happy searching now.

Answer 2

If you are talking about the Google toolbar, click on Google to the left of the search window and select Clear Search History.

Answer 3

This works if you have Internet Explorer as your browser.
The record of search history which appears in the search box on Yahoo and Google pages is actually a feature controlled by your browser.

Click Tools at the top of your screen, a menu will drop down, click on Internet Options, then click on the Content tab.
Under Personal information, click on the AutoComplete box.
On the AutoComplete Settings window click the Clear Forms box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history. When you are finished remember to click OK.

If you just want to clear searches on Yahoo or Google Home Page or any other Yahoo or Google page, double click the search box, this will make a menu drop down with your searches, put your cursor on what you want to delete to highlight it, hit the delete button on your keyboard. If you want to delete everything just hold the delete button down until everything is deleted.

To clear searches on Yahoo Toolbar, click the pencil icon beside the search box, a menu will drop down, click Clear Recent Searches. If you want to stop saving recent searches, click Toolbar Options and uncheck "Enable Search History", or check "Auto-clear Search History when quitting IE" to clear history when you close your Internet connection.

To clear searches on Google toolbar, click "Google" on the left of the search box, a menu will drop down, click Clear Search History. To stop saving searches click options, click search tab and check or uncheck to configure your search box.

Operative word: "searches".....you can delete them by highlighting the first one and then holding down your delete key until you delete all down the line. You will probably have to enter a thru z to get them all.

There are other ways to remove them but this is easiest.

Hope that helps.

Go to Tools on your IE browser on top, Then click on Internet Options.
Delete your cache (temporary files), history, and cookies.
Then go to Content and click on AutoComplete Settings and clear all form.
If you dont want your fields to auto fill the forms, then you need to disable it in settings.

If you get Internet Explorer 7.0, you can just go to Tools, Internet Options and you will have the option to delete everything all at once with just one click.
Under Browse History, click Delete, and then Delete all.
It will clear everything.
