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.

On the Yahoo! toolbar, right beside the Y! on the left, there is an icon that looks like a pencil. Click on it and then you will see a menu popup.\n* Click on toolbar options.\n* Look for "Search Box" about halfway down.\n* uncheck the box that says "Enable Search History"\nOnce this check is removed, the search history will go away, when the browser is closed.

Well the moron before me was wasting your time, go to tools at the top of the page, click on options , click history, in the general tab, click on clear history, and that should do it , but sometimes with Yahoo, search domain, that doesn't work.

Yahoo! Toolbar will remember your recent searches so that you can easily find the things you searched for previously. However, there are several ways you can clear the search history in the toolbar. \n\nIf you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Clear Recent Searches" \nIf you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the web, but to automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nSelect "Auto clear recent searches when exiting IE" so that there is a checkmark in the box next to it. \nClick "OK" \nIf you want to disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nClick "Remember Recent Searches" so that there is not a checkmark in the box next to it \nClick "OK" \nNote: Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox currently does not have the ability to disable the search history or automatically clear it on exit. Those features will be added in a future release. \n\nIf you have disabled the search history in Yahoo! Toolbar 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.

Items in the "search bar thing" have nothing to do with cookies.\n\nFor 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. Clearing history or cookies will not remove the search history. Clearing history only removes the history of sites visited not searches.\n\nTo stop or clear search history in Internet Explorer:\nGo to tools/internet options/content tab.\nUnder Personal information click on the "AutoComplete" box.\nYou can "clear forms" or stop search history there.\n\nA single item can be deleted rom the search history by pressing the "delete" key while the item is highlighted.\n\nTo stop or clear search history in Firefox:\nGo to tools/options/privacy button/saved forms tab\nYou can "clear forms" or stop search history there.\n\nA single item can be deleted by pressing the "shift delete" key while the item is highlighted.\n\nFor other browsers just look for the automatic forms fill-in feature.
