How can I clear the drop down menu under the search window  -- I am
working on a MAC with Safari and I do not see any Google Toolbar that
has a function to clear search history.  I can clear the history in
Safari, but that does not clear the history in the drop down search
menu...nor does removing the Google cookies ... help please...

This might be of interest:

"The new 'Reset Safari' feature lets users erase browsing history,
empty the browser cache, clear the Downloads window and remove
cookies. It can also be used to clear Google search queries and remove
any saved names and passwords or other AutoFill text."

if you have google toolbar then you should have the clear History
option, on the far right side with the Google Logo that has a drop
down box.

Prior to google tool bar, I would erase them individually. I would
just type in a character, as "a" and all the "a" related topics would
show up, then I would move my mouse to the first result and hit delete
button.  Once you are in the drop down dox of the search requests, you
can just use the delete button to delete them...  try it  :)

Not offical researcher so....

If you have google toolbar,  go to options, and click the Drop Down
Search History.  That should put the drop down option on the far LEFT
of the GOOGLE name, that includes the clear search history.


Hope that works.

I have the answer:

1. Open Safari's preferences by going to the "Safari" menu at the left
of the menubar, and then choosing "preferences" from the drop-down
menu.

2. When the preferences window appears, choose the button at the top
of the window that says "AutoFill."

3. If you want to disable AutoFill for all web forms (including
Google), then all you have to do is deselect the checkbox next to
"Other Forms." But if you want to disable AutoFill for Google's
website only, then click the "Edit" button next to "Other forms," and
find the entry ".google.com" in the list of website addresses that
appears. Select that entry and click the "remove" button.

This will erase all previous AutoFill data currently stored for the
Google website, but it will not prevent new AutoFill data from being
created. The only way to do that is by removing the checkbox next to
"Other forms."
