how do you erase words in your "search"?

Question

for example, your searching for GOLD. Every time you press "g" on your search engine, everything you've ever searched for in the name of "g" comes up.... what the heck?

Answer 1

in your tools tab click internet options then click on clear history that will surely clear all you previous searched..

Answer 2

Tools
Internet Options
Clear Cookies
Delete Files (offline)
Clear History
set days to keep pages in history to 0
There is a downside: When you delete cookies, some programs or goodies you downloaded may or may not work, pictures may or may not become X’s the next time you open the file, etc.
It’s your choice to make.
You can also:
Click Contents tab: now click the content tab, click to clear auto complete, click to clear forms.
Where it says use autocomplete, uncheck all the things you dont want your browser to store. This way you won’t have to keep going back and clearing things out. Good luck

Answer 3

click the little arrow probably on the right side of the search bar and it will say "clear history" (google)

or

click the little arrow on the right side of the search and it will say "options" and then "clear history" (yahoo)

unless you mean the address bar in your browser, then you'd go to the top where it says "tools" click that.
then you click "internet options"
then you see where it says "clear history" click that.

all done: )
