Deleting Drop Lists in url boxes

[curious]

Hi,
When you go to a site like Yahoo and type in an entry
like "daily news" in a search box then return to that
same search box later, when you type in "d" for "daily"
there is a drop box that pops up with "daily news"
plus "daily blab" plus anything else beginning with "d"
that you searched for.

How do you delete those drop lists? or individual entries
from them, e.g. if you make a typo like "dialy" and don't
want that to appear every time you enter "d"

Thanks!
