I don't understand what you're asking.  You can clarify it a little
more for me?  Thanks!

I will assume you're using Internet Explorer. If this is not the case,
please clarify.

To ensure you have fully erased any traces of your searches from more
prying and computer-savvy eyes, you need to delete your history and
clear your cache by going to the menu of any internet window and
selecting Tools -> Internet Options and clicking on Delete
Files.../OK, and then on Clear History, and click OK again.

If you're referring to items in the list of past searches that pops up
when you start typing letters or press alt-down on the keyboard while
in Google's main window, you can eliminate specific items from the
list by pressing down until the item is highlighted, then pressing
Delete or DEL on your keyboard. You can turn off this option
altogether by going to Tools -> Internet Options, Advanced at the top
of the box that pops up, and scroll down to where it says "Use inline
Autocomplete", probably right under the section set inward for
"Underline links", and uncheck the box, then click ok.

If you're using/referring to the Google Toolbar, there is an option on
the toolbar menu, "Clear Search History."


Thank you for choosing Google! Answers, and please feel free to ask
for clarification if necessary.

Very helpful
