The record of search history which appears in the search box on Yahoo! is actually a feature controlled by your browser, not Yahoo! . If you have Internet Explorer as your browser, you may stop the search history from being generated by following the instructions below: . . . Select the the 'Tools' menu in Internet Explorer. . Select 'Internet Options', then select the 'Content' tab. . Under Personal information, click on the 'AutoComplete' box. . On the AutoComplete Settings window you can 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.
