Well, that depends upon which browser you are using.  The two most popular are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, so I will give explanations for how to clear past search information in both.\n\nIn Internet Explorer, you must click on the "Tools" option at the top of the browser (between "Favorites" and "Help").  A menu will appear.  Click on the "Content" tab at the top of this menu.  In this tab, you will see, under the Personal Information section, a button that says "AutoComplete".  Click on it and uncheck the "Forms" box.  If you want to get rid of AutoComplete for web addresses and user name and password forms, uncheck those too.  You may also want to clear saved data.  You can do that on that menu as well.\n\nFor Firefox, click the Tools option as above (except this time it is between "Bookmarks" and "Help" instead of "Favorites" and "Help").  Go to "Options".  A menu will appear as above.  Then click on the "privacy" button.  After that, click on the "Saved Forms" tab.  Uncheck the "Save information I enter in forms and the Search bar" box and clear saved forms data.

You can do it manually and just clear your we search history or you can use a program that I use called CleanUp. It will clear your history as well as other useless stuff. I have never had any problems from this program. I run it every time I log off. You can download it from http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/
