Answer 2

It might have an option that says clear search...the way Google Toolbar has it...try looking for it on the Yahoo toolbar...and if you're unable to find it...and here I am assuming that you are using Internet Explorer...so open your browser and click on Tools-->Internet Options...when the dialog-box opens up..click on the buttons that say clear history and delete cookies...see if that solves ur problem.

Hope this helps & good luck!

You need to delete all the cookies and Temporary Internet Files. If you;re using Internet Explorer then do right click on the Internet Explorer icon, select properties, click on delete cookies. after that's done click on delete files and select to delete offline files as well. That might take a while. After that's done click on Settings - View Files and go to each folder (you should have 3 - history, temp and temporary internet files) and delete whatever inside of those folders. That should take care of that. If it doesn't, try going back to Internet Explorer Properties and click on Clear History button. That should take care of it
