You can clear your Google search history from the Google search box, the Google Toolbar, or your browser. We've included instructions for all three methods below.
CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH BOX HISTORY
The search history that displays in the search box on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google. Instructions appear below for disabling this search history in common browsers. If your browser isn't listed, we suggest consulting its online support center.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
1. Go to the ';Tools'; menu.
2. Select ';Internet Options'; and the ';Content'; tab.
3. Within the ';Personal information'; area, select ';AutoComplete.';
4. Click on ';Clear Forms.'; You can also un-check the ';Forms'; box in this window to keep this information from being stored in the future.
5. Click ';OK'; to exit.
Alternatively, you can delete individual entries from your search history by using the Down arrow key to highlight a previous search, then pressing the Delete key once.
MSN
If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet Explorer (IE) will take effect in your MSN browser. After making changes in IE, you'll need to sign out of and back into MSN for the changes to take effect.
Mozilla Firefox
1. Go to the ';Tools'; menu.
2. Select ';Options'; %26gt; ';Privacy'; %26gt; ';Saved Form Information.';
3. Click ';Clear'; and un-check the box.
4. Click ';OK'; to exit.
Safari
1. Go to the ';Safari'; menu and select ';Preferences.';
2. From the menus that pop up, select ';Autofill.';
3. Go to ';Other forms'; line and select the ';Edit'; button.
4. From the list of sites for which AutoFill is currently being applied, select ';Google.com'; %26gt; ';Remove'; %26gt; ';Done.';
CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE TOOLBAR HISTORY
To clear your search history from the drop-down text box on the Google Toolbar:
1. Click on the Google logo on the Toolbar to access the drop-down menu.
2. Select the ';Clear Search History'; option.
If you'd like to completely disable your Toolbar's search history, please click the ';Options'; button on your Toolbar and un-check the box next to ';Drop-down search history.';
If you have Google Toolbar 4.0 installed, you can clear your Toolbar's search history by starting to enter a search term in your Toolbar's search box. When your drop-down search history appears, simply click the ';Clear History'; link.
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.
If you've followed these steps and information still appears in your Toolbar search box as you type, please visit http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer鈥?/a> for additional assistance.
CLEARING YOUR BROWSER HISTORY
Like your Google search box history, the search history that displays in the address bar on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google.

Microsoft Internet Explorer
1. Go to the ';Tools'; menu.
2. Select ';Internet Options'; and the ';General'; tab.
3. Click the ';Clear History'; button. To completely disable the history function, set ';Days to keep pages in history'; to zero (';0';).
4. Click ';OK'; to exit.
MSN
If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet Explorer (IE) will take effect in your MSN browser. After making changes in IE, you'll need to sign out of and back into MSN for the changes to take effect.
Mozilla Firefox
1. Go to the ';Tools'; menu.
2. Select ';Options'; %26gt; ';Privacy'; %26gt; ';History.';

if you are meaning the list that expands, (directly above your friends list) where it has the rotating text ';Type a Yahoo! ID'; or ';Type an email address'; or ';Type a mobile number'; then try the following....
the only way I know of is clearling the entire list (rather than individual ID's listed) is to pop into your Yahoo! Cache directory located at....
C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Cache
it's going to depend on if you have logged in using one default ID or mutilple ID's, if one then there will be one file, if multiple, then there will be multiple files... one for each ID you have used
the file you need to delete will look something like...
Ex4PoBU5oaXdyQjk0tQ_FQ--
.conversationhistory.xml
the...
Ex4PoBU5oaXdyQjk0tQ_FQ
shown above will be different though, so just look for any / all files ending with...
--.conversationhistory.xml
right click and delete each file, or if you're worried about doing so just rename the extension e.g
Ex4PoBU5oaXdyQjk0tQ_FQ--
.conversationhistory.xml
would become
Ex4PoBU5oaXdyQjk0tQ_FQ--
.conversationhistory.OLD
when you sign out of yahoo messenger a new conversationhistory.xml file will be created :)
best of luck
cheers
bee :)
btw... the file name....
Ex4PoBU5oaXdyQjk0tQ_FQ--
.conversationhistory.xml
is actually all one line but answers is cutting it off due to length...
e.g Ex4PoBU5oaXdyQjk0tQ_FQ--.conve...
