OT-How do I delete "Old Search Items" in history?

I have figured out the way to delete all old sites but old items in google, ebay, and Rx always appear as soon as I start a search with the same letter.

Anyone?

Thanks!

clearing cookies should work I think

Hi, I hope this can help...

The record of search history which appears in the search box on Yahoo! is actually a feature controlled by your browser, not Yahoo!

If you have Internet Explorer as your browser, you can stop the search history from being generated by following the instructions below:

1. Select the "Tools" menu in Internet Explorer.
2. Select "Internet Options,"
3. then select the "Content" tab.
Under Personal information, click the "AutoComplete" box.
4. On the AutoComplete Settings window you can click the "Clear Forms" box to delete your current history,
5. or you can uncheck the "Forms" box to permanently stop the generation of the search history

It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

#5 was helpful, just don't generate a history, then you don't have to delete it.

Thanks
