Answer 1

So you tried clicking on 'tools'

then clicking on 'clear browsing history'

and clicking on delate history of sites visited

it should have worked.

Try again.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

You are asking this question in the Yahoo Search category so I assume that maybe you are referring the the search drop down rather than the address drop down. Address are deleted by clearing history.

For searches:

That is part of the autofill feature that can be turned off in options.

In IE go to internet options/ content/ autocomplete/ settings/ forms.

In Firefox go to options/ privacy/ history/ remember what I enter in forms and the search bar.

You can also delete the entries by double clicking on an empty search box, dropping down to the first item, and then pressing delete for each entry.
