I have Internet Explorer version 6.  The menu commands are Tools, Internet Options, make sure the 'General' tab is selected and click 'Delete Cookies, 'Delete Files and'Clear History' to clean up your tracks.  While your there you can set the amount of time to keep your visited sites in history.

Go to Tools - Internet Options.  Click 'Content' tab, click AutoComplete button, deselect each check box and click Clear Forms and Clear Passwords.  Click Okay.  Clear History as well.  Clearing the history, as most of these people will mistakenly tell you, will not remedy your specific situation.  Clearing History will eliminate the list of sites visited that is located in the dropdown box of the address bar.  However, to clear the history of typed searches - as you are attempting to do - follow the steps above to turn off the AutoComplete function.  Hopefully people will begin to actually read other answers and learn something instead of posting incorrect information....repeatedly.
