I have Adult Friend Finder as a past search.
I would like to eliminate this as others can see I have searched here
when they click on to type in what they are looking for.
How do I eliminate adultfriendfinder from the area where I initially
search for something?

Hi blatt28,

Thank you for your question.

Your broswer's AutoComplete feature is at work!

To clear (delete) previous search terms (contents) that start to show
as you type in a new search term for Google:

-   Click on the Tools menu 
-   Click on Internet Options 
-   Click on the Content tab 
-   In the Personal information section, click on the AutoComplete button 
-   Click on the Clear Forms button
-   Answer Yes to the resulting confirmation 

Your Google AutoComplete history, as well as the AutoComplete history
for any other web forms is now erased.

*****

To delete the list of sites you've visited, whether you found them via
Google or got to them some other way, you need to clear your browser's
history and cache.

In Internet Explorer:

-  Click on the Tools menu 
-  Click on Internet Options 
-  Click on the General tab 
-  In the Temporary Internet files section click on Delete Files
-  Make sure Delete all offline content is checked 
-  Press OK 
-  In the History section click on Clear History and answer Yes to the
confirmation
-  Press OK

*****

If you are using the Google Toolbar:

-   Click the options button on the Google Toolbar 
-   Turn OFF drop down search history
-   Press OK 
(Repeat the process to turn it back on)

Clearing your history will wipe away a whole lot of your settings.

Tools
Internet Options

There's a button that says Clear History. It will erase names of all
sites you've been to.

Another way is to clear your list of recently opened documents

1. Close all programs (makes this easier)
2. Right click on your start menu
3. Click Properties
If you are not using windows xp, skip steps 4 & 5
4. Click the tab at the top that says Start Menu
5. Click Customize
6. Click the tab "Advanced" at the top of this new window
7. Click the button towards the bottom that says "Clear List".

Clearing your history is the most effective, but the last method is
the most subtle and I'd imagine that if you were trying to conceal
something like that you'd want to do it in a manner where it didn't
look like anything was being concealed.

Hi! blatt28. You can delete the website address from the registry.
 Just "click" as following sequences.

 Start>>run>>type "regedit"in the box and ok>> My computer>>HKEY_current_user>>
 software>>microsoft>>internet explorer>>typedURLs.  There will be a
lists of website you'v visited so for on the right side window.

 Find the site you looking for on the right side window.
 Click, the name with rightside mouse button and delete it.
 Pease do not try guess work, when you are not sure it. Your computer
may beworked wrong way, if you delete another datas.
 I hope you have now peace in your mind.
 Good luck.
