For Firefox/google ...Click on 'Tools' on your toolbar...select Options from the drop-down ..select Privacy.. select 'Saved form information' uncheck 'Save information on forms and searchbar' option..and click on delete there to clear existing history. For Intern. Expl. just highlight history on search bar and press delete key on keyboard.

how do i delete the old searches on the google web sight and not the toolbar?

That's not Google-specific, that just Internet Explorer's auto-complete feature. Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> Personal Information -> AutoComplete. There you can clear the cache as well as configure its behaviour.

on my AOL 9.0 optimized LE under the window to go to the internet there is a dropdown that tells me every transaction I have ever done. I have very limited memory space and I don't want everyone (girlfriend) to be able to drop this window down and look at what I have been doing. I don't really do much wrong but if she found somehing she will make a mountain out of it. SO, how can I delete this dropdown called MY HISTORY???

this website did not help me on deleting my history here is how you do it on aol go to settings then go to toolbar settings its in alphabetical order then of course hit the clear histoy button and all the websites you visited are gone

I Figured it out...go to TOOLS scroll all the way down to INTERNET OPTIONS, there should be a little file/tag that says "general" at the top. The bottom of that page says history-you can psuh the "clear history" button and then push "apply" before exiting! this worked for me

web page on google short cuts shows how do remove form entries.
What had got many bothered is how to get rid of unwanted search bar entries. As seach bar entry is a form entry, the short cut prescribed for deletion of form entries should do it. I have tried and it worked.
The way to do it is (i)In the search bar type the forst letter of the entry you want to remove.(ii)Go down the list to entry to be removed. (iii) Press shift + delete.

It works.

In my earlier posting 'forst should be read as 'first'. sorry for any inconvenience.

i am trying to save items i search for on the google tool bar - how do i do this - i cannot find the options button

THIS IS HOW YOU DELETE YOUR GOOGLE HISTORY!
EVERYONE WANTS TO SELL YOU CRAP SO THEY NEVER TELL YOU HOW EASY IT REALLY IS. THIS IS WHAT YOU DO! click: Tools ---> Internet Options ---> Content---> Auto Complete---> Clear Forms---> OK--->OK-->OK----> wham bam thankyou ma'm
Or all you have to do is type a letter and when the history drops down you can scroll to any past history thingy and hit {delete} once. It really that freakin easy. If I have helped you out, drop me an e-mail and let me know.
