If it's the regular search form on their website, you need to delete the history in your browser. You can do this by going to Tool->Internet Options. Click on the Content tab and click on the Autocomplete button. Then click the "Clear Forms" button.\n\nIf you are referring to the search bar within the Yahoo toolbar, you can clear the list by starting to type in the box. As the history comes up, there is a button that says "Clear". Click that.
