Can he really find out what I have been searching even if my computer was turned off after the search?

Install and run CCleaner a freeware system optimization and privacy tool.
. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history.

Yes, if you didn't clear the history. You should also lock your computer with a password when you are not using it. (Control-Alt-Delete). Hit all keys at the same time, and you will then see the option of loggin off, locking the computer, changing the password, etc. Choose change password first, as he may have your password. Then, choose lock computer. This should keep him out. He has no right to be on your computer period!
I hate nosey people.
Good luck to you.

Yep he can, if you go onto google and search for something, the next time you search for something starting with the same thing it automatically fills it in for you.
You should have been more careful

Oh yeah, he sure can... unless you clean up your tracks after you've used your comp!
I suggest you download a program called CleanUp which will erase all your web surfing history, temporary files, index.dat files, most recently used programs, and so on. You can download it from here: http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/
Good Luck!

It seems like a paranoid place you're working in. You're spying on your colleague and he's checking your computer behind your back.
Delete everything regularly on your computer to cover your tracks.

Yes, if knows what he's doing. That's how the police prove that the kiddie-fiddlers have been searching for innappropriate material...

Yes you can still see what pages you have been looking at, all stores in the memory and something about cookies I think

Yes !! If you didn't clear the history list on your Internet provider he'll be able to revisit all the sites you visited.
