  1. You need to clear or disable Auto Complete. This saves all previous searches in your search bar. Here's how to fix the problem:

    For Internet Explorer: Click on Tools. Then Internet Options. Click on Content and then Auto Complete. Then click on Clear Forms. This will erase your search history. If you don't want things showing up again in your search history then deselect the Auto Complete options at the top. Be sure to select apply or ok at the bottom.


  2. To clear out your history such as with searches go to "Internet Tools" (you can do this thru the Explorer Window if IE is your browser for accessing the Net or by going to your computer's Control Panel) and then click on that.

    When the box opens one of the boxes that will show up is for clearing out history (this is on the main window page where you will also see a box that asks how long you want to save the history for).  Click that and the "History" will be emptied out.

  3. When you are typing in a search term / phrase, you normally will see a list of options pop up below the text box.  To remove individual search terms, simply high-light the item you wish to delete and press the delete key.  (This works for IE, Firefox, Netscape browsers.)  

    Hope this helps
