How can I clear words from my google search history?

Question

When I start to type a new search into my google search box, it starts populating words that I had previously searched on that start with the same words. How can I clear this?

(example: if I search for "how do I reset my password", the google search box will automatically offer a list of everything I've searched for beginning with "how do I")
