Search box in browser

When I click in the search box in Google or Yahoo a list
of previous searches shows up. How do I clear that, Make
it go away, disaper even? Thanx!!

OPTIONS>>CLEAR HISTORY

Hi Jim - To delete Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and download and
install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL .inf:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/download.htm

You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf here also to eliminate the Search Drop
Down history.

Note: this does not remove entries entered via AutoComplete. To remove
hidden AutoComplete entries in History:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm#AutoComplete


IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are CLOSED before you do
the install of this(these) .inf files.

A nice alternative just for selective or all Address (not Search) history
maintenance is EditURLs, here: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/ Here also,
you must close all instances of IE6 for the deletions to "take".
Recommended.

Clearing the History didn't eliminate the search history.
