I assume you're referring to the query history in your search box, which is what most people mean by "cleaning their search".\n\nTo clear this in IE, go to Tools > Internet Options in the top menu. This should open a configuration dialog; click on the 'Content' tab. You should see an 'AutoComplete' button towards the bottom. Click that, then click the 'Clear forms' button.
