Have you visited the sites recently?  Even if you've cleared history, if you still have a set number of days to keep something in the history, it will still be there.  Set the number of days to zero.  Also, have you tried clearing your cache?  this is seperate from the history or cookies.  \n\nYou might also want to make sure you clear all forms.  if you are also getting your previous serches appearing when you attempt to use search engines, this may be your problem.\n\nAlso, what are you running?  IE, firefox, are you working from an AOL browser?  that might make a little bit of difference.

If you have disabled the search history but are still seeing items suggested when you type, your browser is saving that information. For Internet Explorer, check your options under Tools>Internet Options>AutoFill. For Mozilla Firefox, check Tools>Options>Privacy>Saved Form Information. Hope this will help you. Good luck.

Deleting your history and/or cookies will NOT delete your search history, you need to do the following:\n\nTools, internet Options, Content, Autocomplete..\n\nThen clear forms\nand clear passwords if you want.\n\nIf you dont want it to remember the next lot you type in, then Turn It OFF as well.

see the pencil to the left of the search box? click on it and then go to clear search history. i think this is what you're talking about. well this works if you have the yahoo toolbar up there.

If that's the same bar that shows up at the top of Answers, then that's part of the webpage and not so much a toolbar.  The stuff in there is stored as a result of IE's AutoComplete function (Tools-Internet Options, click on Content tab).  You can control what gets stored there on this tab, or you can delete everything by going to the General tab and clicking on Clear History.  Alternatively, if you double click the Search the Web box, you can see all of the items you searched for.  If you hover your pointer on one of the items in the list, you can hit Delete on your keyboard to delete specific ones if you wanted to keep others in the list.

generally the popup blockers are installed as 'toolbars' on the top of your browser. \n\nright click on empty space on your toolbars and see how many additional toolbars are 'checked' or 'unchecked'\n\nlook for 'search toolbars' like Yahoo, Google or any other crappy toolbar, most of them have popup blockers. \n\nThe other thing is that the browser that you are using will have a built in popup blocker. Depending on the browser you are using, check its help files to verify if the popup blocker is turned on or off.\n\n\nThe other thing you can do is, \nclick on start\nclick on 'control panel'\nclick on 'add / remove programs' \nand in the list, look for any additinal 'search' or 'toolbar' programs installed. if they are, then uninstall the unwanted programs. \n\nThe other thing you can do to temporarily override the popup blocker settings is to press the 'ctrl' key while accessing webpages with popups. \n\nhope that helps.
