Hi eddy5812

Thank you for your question.

How do I delete my search history? 
Your Google search history can be deleted from the Google Toolbar,
from the Google search box, and from your browser. Instructions for
each of these instances appear below: To clear your search history
from the drop-down text box on the Google Toolbar:

Click on the 'Google' logo to access the drop-down menu. 
Select the 'Clear Search History' option. This will clear all the
previous searches from the drop-down box.
Please note that this only clears the search history from the Google
Toolbar, which is entirely separate from the search history stored by
your browser.

To clear your history from the search box on the Google homepage: 

The search history that displays in the search box on the Google
homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google. To disable this
feature on Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) versions 5.0 and higher:

Go to the 'Tools' menu. 
Select 'Internet Options.' 
Select the 'Content' tab. 
Within the 'Personal Information' area, select 'AutoComplete.' 
Click on 'Clear Forms'. You can also uncheck the 'Forms' box in this
same window to keep this information from being stored in the future.
Alternatively, you can delete individual entries from your search
history by using the Down arrow key to select a previous search, then
pressing the Delete key once an unwanted search is highlighted.

To clear your history from Internet Explorer: 

Go to the 'Tools' menu. 
Select 'Internet Options'. 
Click the 'General' tab. 
Click the 'Clear History' button. To completely disable the history
function, set 'Days to keep pages in history' to zero.

========


Best regards,
tlspiegel
