Delete webpage history
As you browse the web, Internet Explorer stores information about the websites you visit and information that you're frequently asked to provide (for example, your name and address). The following is a list of the type of information that Internet Explorer stores:
Temporary Internet files
Cookies
A history of the websites you've visited
Information that you've entered into websites or the Address bar (this is referred to as saved form data and it includes things such as your name, address, and the website addresses that you've visited before)
Passwords
Temporary information stored by browser add-ons
Usually, it's helpful to have this information stored on your computer because it can improve web browsing speed or automatically provide information so you don't have to type it in over and over. You might want to delete that information if you're cleaning up your computer or are using a public computer and do not want any of your personal information to be left behind.
To delete all browsing history
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Delete Browsing History.
Click Delete all, and then click Yes.
To delete a specific category of browsing history
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Delete Browsing History.
Click the Delete button next to the category of information you want to delete, click Yes, and then click Close.
Notes
You should close Internet Explorer when you're done to clear cookies that are still in memory from your current browsing session. This is especially important when using a public or kiosk computer.
Deleting all browsing history does not delete your list of favorites or subscribed feeds. It only deletes temporary files, browsing history, cookies, saved form information, and saved passwords.

Tried: tools, internet options, clear history, but small search box still shows history? any other ideas?
How do I delete the drop-down list of my past searches?
You can clear your Google search history from the Google search box, the Google Toolbar, or your browser. We've included instructions for all three methods below.
CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH BOX HISTORY
The search history that displays in the search box on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google. Instructions appear below for disabling this search history in common browsers. If your browser isn't listed, we suggest consulting its online support center.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
1. Go to the ';Tools'; menu.
2. Select ';Internet Options'; and the ';Content'; tab.
3. Within the ';Personal information'; area, select ';AutoComplete.';
4. Click on ';Clear Forms.'; You can also un-check the ';Forms'; box in this window to keep this information from being stored in the future.
5. Click ';OK'; to exit.
Alternatively, you can delete individual entries from your search history by using the Down arrow key to highlight a previous search, then pressing the Delete key once.
MSN
If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet Explorer (IE) will take effect in your MSN browser. After making changes in IE, you'll need to sign out of and back into MSN for the changes to take effect.
Mozilla Firefox
1. Go to the ';Tools'; menu.
2. Select ';Options'; %26gt; ';Privacy'; %26gt; ';Saved Form Information.';
3. Click ';Clear'; and un-check the box.
4. Click ';OK'; to exit.
Safari
1. Go to the ';Safari'; menu and select ';Preferences.';
2. From the menus that pop up, select ';Autofill.';
3. Go to ';Other forms'; line and select the ';Edit'; button.
4. From the list of sites for which AutoFill is currently being applied, select ';Google.com'; %26gt; ';Remove'; %26gt; ';Done.';
CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE TOOLBAR HISTORY
To clear your search history from the drop-down text box on the Google Toolbar:
1. Click on the Google logo on the Toolbar to access the drop-down menu.
2. Select the ';Clear Search History'; option.
If you'd like to completely disable your Toolbar's search history, please click the ';Options'; button on your Toolbar and un-check the box next to ';Drop-down search history.';
If you have Google Toolbar 4.0 installed, you can clear your Toolbar's search history by starting to enter a search term in your Toolbar's search box. When your drop-down search history appears, simply click the ';Clear History'; link.
Please note that this only clears the search history from the Google Toolbar, which is entirely separate from the search history stored by your browser.
If you've followed these steps and information still appears in your Toolbar search box as you type, please visit http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer鈥?/a> for additional assistance.
CLEARING YOUR BROWSER HISTORY

Mozilla Firefox
1. Go to the ';Tools'; menu.

In Windows XP with Internet Explorer 6 to remove history from all input boxes right click on the taskbar (space next to the start menu) then select properties. On the screen that appears select the ';Start Menu'; tab at the top. Then select the ';customize'; button. On the following screen, select the ';Advanced'; tab then click the ';Clear List'; near the bottom. Even if the check box next to it is clear it should still remove autocomplete entries.

You probably have a ';browser helper'; object, such as a google or yahoo search engine/toolbar. Some of these retain their own search history, independant of IE. The fix is to remove the browser helper (control panel-- add/remove programs). You will also want to search your hard drives for any folders named content.ie5, then delete them.
Its a toolbar thing.....you don't want that little search window, dump your tioolbar.
Press ';Settings';.
Click ';Browser Options';.
Click ';Display';.
Click ';Clear Search'; to clear search list to right of ';Go';.
Click ';Clear URLs to remove the list to the left of ';Go';.
Press ';Yes';.
Finished.
Ok, if it's the yahoo search bar, then click on the little arrow that's connected to it and it will give you an option to clear. Works every time.
