Hello Ricaldrich,
I have Google Toolbar version 2 on my Internet Explorer. Click on the
"Google" title button, the drop-down menu will show 'Clear Search
History', and clicking on that will do the trick. I recall it's the
same if you're using an old version of the toolbar. Clearing temp
files will not clear the history because the Toolbar search history is
not part of the temporary internet files.

I used personal knowledge as my 'search strategy'.

I hope this has been a most helpful answer. If you need anything else,
or have a problem with the answer, do please post a Request for
Clarification before rating and I shall respond as soon as I can.
Thank you.
