To Clear the Search History:

You cant remove it just the Search History - You'd have to clear the History.

  1. Click: History menu
  2. Select: Clear History...
  3. Select: All History
  4. Select: Clear History button

If the above doesn't work, open a new tab, then History/Show All History to see if the Clear History button works there. You can also select the first entry, then scroll to the bottom, and while holding down the Shift key, select the last item. Then hit the Delete key.
