If you mean IE, and things you typed in Yahoo! (or other) search engine fields...\n\nTools>Internet Options>Content>Auto Complete>Clear Forms button. You can also delete individual entries by highlighting them in the list in question and pressing the delete key.  You can also uncheck "forms" so the searches are never saved again.

If u use Internet Explorer, just double click in the search box to get the pull-down menu that contains all the previous search terms. just highlight the terms u want to delete and press the DELETE button on ur keyboard.\nIn Firefox, the same method works - but u've to hold the SHIFT key along with DELETE key.\nIn Yahoo toolbar, the option can be found in the pull-down menu adjacent to the search box.

Depends on which search box you're talking about.\n\nFor a search box that appears on a web page (e.g., www.yahoo.com or www.google.com), using Internet Explorer:\n\nGo 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.\n\nFor the search box that appears on the Y! Toolbar:\n\nClick on the pencil next to the search box and select "clear recent searches".

If you go to tools - options - privacy, there will be a saved forms tab.  There is a checkbox there where you can tell it to save forms and entries in the search bar.  There is also a button where you can clear it out.

A very straightforward way is to go in the search window, type the letter a, and it pops up all your previous searches starting with a.  Move the mouse cursor over the first term to highlight it (but don't click).  Then hit delete and it will delete the term.  Continue to remove all from the list.  Then repeat with b, etc.  You can do it faster than it sounds.
