i need to clear the history of my searches so i was wondering if someone knew how to clear the history.

Simple version of this is to go to www.google.com and then click in the search bar and press down and delete and this will delete 1 of the previous search results pressing down again will bring up the rest thus doing this removes them all easier then the other options and to delete it from the task bar ontop of the window click the dropdown box and clear history onto that as well

yea click the arrow and press clear history

no b/c every search you do on any search engine is saved on the server (googles, yahoo, etc) so be careful. it corresponds with your IP address.

Here's how to do it from the google toolbar.
How do I delete my search history?

Your Google search history can be deleted from the Google Toolbar, from the Google search box, and from your browser. Instructions for each of these instances appear below:

CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE TOOLBAR HISTORY

To clear your search history from the drop-down search box in the Google Toolbar for Firefox:

1. Click on the drop-down arrow to the right of the Google Toolbar search box.
2. Select the "Clear Search History" option. This will clear all the previous searches from the drop-down box.

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.

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. To disable this feature in Mozilla Firefox 1.5:

1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Options" > "Privacy" > "Saved Form Information."
3. Click "Clear" and un-check the box.
4. Click "OK" to exit.

To disable this feature in Mozilla Firefox 2:

1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Options" > "Privacy."
3. Click "Clear Now"... and make sure the box next to "Saved Form and Search History" is checked.
4. Click "Clear Private Data Now" to exit.

CLEARING YOUR BROWSER HISTORY

To clear your history from Mozilla Firefox 1.5:

1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Options" > "Privacy" > "History."
3. Click on "Clear." To completely disable the history function, set "Remember visited pages for the last X days" to zero ("0").
4. Click "OK" to exit.

To clear your history from Mozilla Firefox 2:

1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Options" > "Privacy."
3. Click "Clear Now"... and make sure the box next to "Browsing History" is checked.
4. Click "Clear Private Data Now" to exit.

when ever i do it i jus right click on the file and a box appears on the box there are different titles i click on the one that says "delete" then the file is deleted
works for me hope it works for you

Tools > Internet Options > Delete Browsing History and choose what you wish to delete.

If your using Firefox just go to Tools and click "Clear Private Data". If your not using Firefox I recommend getting it (you can even set it up so it clears the cache every time you close the browser!).

Another way to clear the history is to use CCleaner. CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It cleans traces of your online activities and fixes your registry.
