Google question

When you click in the search box in Google, you get a list of all the previous searches that you have done.
How do you erase or delete them, or prevent them from showing up?

I'm assuming this is in the Google Toolbar. You can turn off the 'feature' in the settings: Settings, Options, Search Box Settings..., clear (at least) 'Suggest searches from my search history'.

Hilite them and hit the delete button one at a time.

I tried that. The deletion is not permanent. When you click again, they are still there.

Can you be more specific?
Where do I find "Settings.........."?.

It's certainly annoying how different versions of Windows and applications are completely different. On my system, in my Google toolbar, well to the right of where text is entered, there is a Settings button.
