When I try to search for files or folders with the
Window's search feature, I notice that everything I've
searched for in the past is stored. Does anyone know how
to clear this search history?
 
When the drop down box appears, highlight one item and hit the <Delete>
key. Keep doing this for each item.

There probably is a better way but this one works.
 
Mike, if your comfortable editing the registry, run regedit and do a search
on "search assistant". You'll find all you entries in folders following
search assistant.
