u need to clear ur cookies. (using IE) just go to tools -> internet options and find the cookies section. then clear it. alternatively, u have to clear the 'autocomplete' list. i'm sorry i can't give you specific directions to doing it because i'm using a workstation in my library and my access to IE options is restricted. i know for a fact that clearing the 'autocomplete' history in IE will delete previous searches that drop down after you've typed a few letters on the search bar.

Depends on your browser. IE has a pull down menu called "Tools" under which you would select "Internet options". Under the general Tab is where you would delete cookies, cache files etc. If your wondering how to get rid of previous searches in your list that is different. As the tool bars attached to your browser have their own settings. Yahoo's sometimes are online. You can access those settings most of the time by right clicking on the actual toolbar or near it.

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.

what you need to go to is Tools - Internet Options - Content tab - Autocomplete - and choose clear forms.  If your don't want it to safe the searches, then unclick the box beside the forms choice in what to save.  Personally, I find it annoying.
