Try this alternative method, which I find preferable anyway,
since deleting the forms history clears much more than your
Google search history, including all your stored usernames
and passwords, which I'd prefer to keep intact.
Go to Google or any other search site you use. When you
left-click once or twice in the empty search box, a list
of previous searches appears, complete with scroll bar.
Now, you can highlight the very first entry with your
cursor. If you want to delete only that entry, or any
other entry you highlight, just click on the Delete
key on your keyboard (not the backspace key, which you
might use to delete a letter or two in a word, but the
Delete key).
If you want to delete all the entries quickly, you can
just highlight the very first one, and then hold the
Delete key down, instead of releasing it after it
deletes one entry. This will rapidly scroll down
through the entire list, deleting as it goes.
If you want to be more selective, you can use the scroll
bar (easier to navigate) or move the cursor to the bottom
of the list to scroll to lower entries. Yet another way to
navigate the list is to leave the cursor in the search box
when the list appears. Then use the Up and Down scroll keys
on your keyboard to navigate through the list. Then just
select the specific entries you want to remove, and tap on
the Delete key to remove them.
You can use this same method to erase selected items from
any form you encounter that generates a drop-down box of
possible entries. Just highlight the ones you want to delete,
and click on the Delete key.
