It’s called AutoComplete: As soon as you begin to type something a Web site in Internet Explorer, for instance, a credit card into an online form, or several other items Windows XP often races in to help. It sends down a little box.\n\nSome people find it handy to tap the down arrow key and pluck an oft-typed phrase from Windows XP's "AutoComplete" list. Others prefer to keep Windows XP from looking over their shoulder and jotting down their words.\n\nDeleting individual entries from AutoComplete:\n\nWhen you fill out a form, Windows XP's AutoComplete feature drops down a list with information you've previously typed into the form including any misspelled entries. Unless you know this trick, those misspelled entries could hang around and bother you for years. \n\nIndividual AutoComplete list entries are fairly easy to delete: \n\n1. Click in the form's box, and press the down-arrow key to view the previous entries. \n\n2. Keep pressing the down-arrow key until you've highlighted the bothersome entry. \n\n3. Press the Del key to delete the entry. \n\nBe sure to use your keyboard for this, as your mouse won't do the trick. Also, this doesn't work for Web addresses typed into Internet Explorer's address bar. To clear those, you need to delete Internet Explorer's History.\n\nTurning off AutoComplete completely:\n \nIf you don't like seeing your user names, passwords, and other information sitting in drop-down windows, tell Windows to stop by doing this:\n\n1. Open Internet Explorer. \n\n2. Choose Internet Options from the Tools menu. \n\n3. Click the Content tab. \n\n4. Click the AutoComplete button. \n\n5. Click to remove checkmarks from these items: \n\nIII Web addresses \n\nIII Forms \n\nIII User names and passwords on forms \n\nIII Prompt me to save passwords\n\n6. Click the Clear Forms button. \n\n7. Click the Clear Passwords button. \n\n8. Click OK.\n\nDeleting old entries from the Search Companion:\n\nBut you're not through yet. Windows XP's Search Companion also includes an AutoComplete feature, so it can remember every file and phrase you've searched for. Here's how to turn it off, as well: \n\n1. Choose Search from the Start menu. \n\n2. Choose Change Preferences. \n\n3. Choose Turn AutoComplete off. \n\nAlthough this stops the Search Companion's little doggy from saving your future search strings, it won't erase the existing entries. You can delete individual entries one at a time, as described up above.\n\nMany programs, including Media Player and your Start menu, keep lists of your Most Recently Used files in a drop down box below your File menu. These lists can be deleted also, but they require a different clean-up method.\n\npaaatches --AutoComplete... not Cookies but AutoComplete.

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.

Depends on your browser - I user IE6, and in that, you double click in the *empty* search box and a list will appear of your previous searches.  Use your keyboard down arrow and Delete button to remove whichever entries you want.  There is another way, but it involves editing the registry, which I do not recommend for something like this.

all depends what internet browser you are using....\n\nbut for a vague direction I would say go to "tools" then "options" and then check history or something along those terms... should find a nice "clear all" button that will clean things up for you
