How to Delete History From Google on a Mac

When using the Google search engine on a Mac, you may find it remembers your previous searches. If you start typing a word, Google will automatically start filling in past searches. This can be a very useful and handy feature; however, if you are using a shared computer, you may not want others to see your search history. It's easy to stop it from automatically happening on Google.
