You need to clear or disable Auto Complete. This saves all previous searches in your search bar. Here's how to fix the problem:
For Internet Explorer: Click on Tools. Then Internet Options. Click on Content and then Auto Complete. Then click on Clear Forms. This will erase your search history. If you don't want things showing up again in your search history then deselect the Auto Complete options at the top. Be sure to select apply or ok at the bottom

You can follow the Clear History/Private Data process to delete the searches but another way to do it is to put the cursor on the search bar, press the down arrow key and then delete every search manually. If you want to delete your searches from their databases, I'm afraid that's impossible as they own all the rights.

Tools > Internet Options > Delete Browsing History and choose what you wish to delete.
If your using Firefox just go to Tools and click "Clear Private Data". If your not using Firefox I recommend getting it (you can even set it up so it clears the cache every time you close the browser!).
If your really concerned about privacy, there are still traces of your online activity stored in the registry and "index.dat" files that cannot be removed from within your browser. CCleaner will remove these "index.dat" files making future recovery very difficult. CCleaner is free and removes all traces of your online activities (highly recommended).
