Do it as follows:. . Tools >>> Internet Options...>>> Content (tab)>>> AutoComplete... button (in Personal information)>>> Select fields for which you want to delete history (like for deleting history of search bar, select 'Forms'; to delete all history, check all boxes)>>>Clear Forms (Click it). . To also delete all passwords which are saved in your computer also click 'Clear Passwords'.. . Now keep on pressing OK till you come out of the 'Internet Options...' box.. . Bingo!!! All the history is cleaned!!!!

You can do as other previous answers have said with the IE option, or you can download a free app I absolutely love called Crap Cleaner, which does just about that.. . http://ccleaner.com/

In Internet Explorer click tools, go to Internet options, click content, click Auto Complete, click clear forms. That should work, if it doesn't try turning off auto complete.

This works if you have Internet Explorer as your browser.. The record of search history which appears in the search box on Yahoo and Google pages is actually a feature controlled by your browser.. . Click Tools at the top of your screen, a menu will drop down, click on Internet Options, then click on the Content tab. . Under Personal information, click on the AutoComplete box. . On the AutoComplete Settings window click the Clear Forms box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history. When you are finished remember to click OK.. . If you just want to clear searches on Yahoo or Google Home Page or any other Yahoo or Google page, double click the search box, this will make a menu drop down with your searches, put your cursor on what you want to delete to highlight it, hit the delete button on your keyboard. If you want to delete everything just hold the delete button down until everything is deleted.. . To clear searches on Yahoo Toolbar, click the pencil icon beside the search box, a menu will drop down, click Clear Recent Searches. If you want to stop saving recent searches, click Toolbar Options and uncheck "Enable Search History", or check "Auto-clear Search History when quitting IE" to clear history when you close your Internet connection. . . To clear searches on Google toolbar, click "Google" on the left of the search box, a menu will drop down, click Clear Search History. To stop saving searches click options, click search tab and check or uncheck to configure your search box.
