You can delete the history of search bar on ur homepage (whatever it is either Yahoo! or Google) by following this path. Tools> internet options> content> auto complete> clear forms. To stop the generation of history uncheck the box of forms.

You can delete the search history on ur yahoo toolbar this way. click the arrow in the search box. Select options, click clear history. Follow this path also. Pencil> toolbar options> uncheck the boxes of enable auto complete and enable history> ok.

To delete address bar history, follow this path. Tools> internet options> general > clear history > set the number of days to zero> ok.

If you're talking about when you're using the search bar on the site itself, disable auto complete on IE. Tool->Internet Options->click the Advanced tab, then scroll down to the box labeled inline Auto Complete and uncheck the box.

If you're talking about the Y! toolbar, there is an option to clear search results. I believe it's in the menu where you see the Y! logo.

Go to your tool bar at the top of the browser window. Click on TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS. You should find an option to delete browser history.

If you have Norton System Works, you should also have the ability to run a 'clean up' which deletes browser history as well. I have mine scheduled to run every night in order to keep file space cleared up.
