Useing the search function on the Google news page  - When I type in
the first letter a drop down box appears with all teh previuos
searching starting with that letter.  How can I clear/deleted that
drop down box?  Thank you

Hi bbh123456,

Your query has been addressed in Google Answers many times.

The dropdown effect you described is not a function of Google, but a
function of AutoComplete. You can clear these forms and erase your
recent searches by following the simple instructions provided below:

Hope that helps.
