How to Delete Search Queries
As you browse the Internet, your search history is saved to a temporary Internet file by your Web browser. Any forms you fill in are also saved. Although your actual search history can always be deleted, certain search engines (such as Google and Yahoo!) provide their own search suggestions, which cannot be deleted. Once you've deleted the search queries, they cannot be recovered.
