Answer 2

If you're using windows:

Go to Start. Go to Settings. Click on Control Panel. Click on Internet Options. Once there, go to the General tab, and then in the History section, click on "Clear History". You can also change the default from 20 days to 1 day so that you dont' have to keep deleting the search every so often.

Hope this helps!
