The search history that appears in the search box on Google is stored by your browser, not Google. To disable this search history, follow the specific instructions below. If you are using Internet Explorer (IE) 1. Go to the Tools menu. 2. Select Internet Options> Content. 3. In the Personal information section, select AutoComplete. 4. Click Clear Forms. You can also uncheck the Forms box in this window to keep this information from being stored in the future. 5. Click OK to exit.

In Firefox, it is much easier to delete individual URLs. Simply drop down the list and highlight the address bar the wrong direction. Then press CTRL-DELETE on your keyboard to remove individual unwanted direction.
