the 'clear history' button only removes websites you visited, not entries in the search bar.  to delete entries there you either have to modify the registry (not recommended) or manually remove them:  click in the search field, then press the down arrow on the keyboard.  the list of previous searches should appear.  use your down arrow to move to the one you want removed, and then press your "delete" button.  the entry will be gone.
