Other people are going to be using my computer, and I don't want them seeing all of the things that I've searched for. When you go to search for something, it shows all the words that match the letters you have typed so far, and I want to keep my searches private, and delete all of my searches. Please help me!!

Actually, deleting your cookies won't help that much. It sounds like you have Autocomplete turned on. Go to Tools>>Internet Options>>Content>>Autocomplete>> and then clear the forms and passwords. Then you can delete your cookies and temporary internet files. You will then have everything completely cleared out. Deleting only cookies will NOT help you with what you're asking.

it takes more than just clearing history
which is what most people think is the solution
do the following and you will have no worries
open your browser
click tools up top
click internet options
click clear history
change the days to keep history to 0
click delete files
click settings change the amount of disk space to use to 1mb
click ok
now click the content tab
click auto complete
click clear forms
then where it says use autocomplete for uncheck all the things you dont want your browser to store.
that way you wont have to keep going back and clearing things out. good luck

Click the pencil icon on the yahoo toolbar, click toolbar options, and uncheck the autocomplete box. At the right end of the search box click the down arrow and check clear search history.
For IE click tools, Internet options, Advanced, and find Use inline autocomplete and clear the checkbox in front of it.

OR, you're in a position to scrub the cache (decrease than privateness stuff). this might sparkling each element in spite of the fact that - saved passwords, cookies, and so on. you could choose quite some themes to scrub (a minimum of in Firefox).

First.. stop using internet explorer.. it leaves the traces if you don't use the softwares like steganos.
Better use firefox (recommended) or opera.
