A few more details would be helpful. If you want to clear your browser
history, or a toolbar history, let us know. We'll need to know the
name of the browser or toolbar.

If you mean "history" in the sense of "the story of mankind," I doubt
that it can be cleared. It is far too muddy.

I want to clear the browser history and I use Internet Explorer.  In
other words when I click on google I do not want previous sites to be
displayed.

Open Internet Explorer and click Tools --> Internet Options. Below
left of the dialog box is a button called "Clear History". Press that
and all your browser and "Run" history will be cleared.

Any Help??

"Below left of the dialog" Sorry, I meant the other left. 

It should be below right, of course.

I realize there is clear history, but I am not sure how to clear the
google history.  When I click on google, it shows the history of
google sites.  The internet options clear history does not clear the
google sites.

Sorry sersland, I misunderstood.

I too have not found a way to do this in the system, but what I do is this:
1) Place the cursor into the search space
2) Tap the down key to display the list
3) Place your mouse on the first line in the dropdown list and
highlight that word or words
4) Whilst holding your mouse on the line just hold down the delete
key. This will delete all the lines until the list is empty.

It does go quickly, so if you perhaps have a word or words you wish to
keep then pay attention. The list is alphabetical, so it's quite easy
to stop in time.

Any good??

OK, I now have been able to clear google with the highlight and then
delete key.  It was simple, yet I did not see it.
