In the search toolbar you can type in the first few letters of what the search word(s) were and it will pop up in the drop down, put the cursor on there with the mouse and hit delete.  You can delete everything you have searched for.

Use CCleaner, it will clear out most search bar histories.  To stop it from keeping them, check in the search bar's Preferences.

you got a very comprehensive answer there. if it is just certain items you want to delete, possibly porn sites, but who am i to judge,  then just highlight it and hit delete on your keyboard

I use the yahoo toolbar on FireFox as it gives me more functionality. Here is what it is configured like: search, antispyware & popup blocking, my web, add to my yahoo, my yahoo, e-mail, 360°, calendar, contacts, address book, bookmarks,weather, briefcase, notepad, translate, photos, news, yahoogroups & geocities. Although I like google a lot, it will last it times before it offers such a functionality!

For the Yahoo toolbar check the controls under the pencil menu. For other toolbars check their options.\n\nThe list which appears in a search box is actually part of the forms fill-in feature controlled by your browser.

On my Yahoo mail I have a search engine where I can retrieve mail I have already deleted. It asks me to type in parts of the E-mail. Lke one says what does it contain or what it says exactly.What was in the title or in the body of the text.All Yahoo mail should have this feature. Good Luck The search engine is mail search at the top of your e-mail.

SPAM\nleave it alone!\nmark it as spam and yahoo will note it (probably do nothing with that "note") and delete it
