I would like to learn how to erase the items in the search history that
appear within the Internet address bar whenever I try to search for websites.

1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Under History, click Clear History.

Besides the Run MRU (Most Recently Used) list, this also clears...

IE History, AutoComplete, Clear the TIF, Clear the Run MRU, Typed
URL's and Clear List:

XP Start Menu:
You have to switch to Classic long enough to get the Clear button.
Right click the Start button | Properties | Select Classic Start Menu |
Customize button | Clear button | Click OK | Select Start menu | Click Apply
|Click OK

Classic Start Menu:
Right click the Start button | Properties | Customize button | Clear button

Clear button
[[Removes the list of recently accessed documents, programs, and Web sites
from the Documents menu.]]

The XP Start Menu Clear button does not clear the Run MRU. The Classic
Start Menu Clear button will clear everything in the Run MRU.

Search Assistant History:
Internet
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5001

Files and folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5603

Pictures, music and video
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5604

Printers, computers and people
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5647
