You can't. Every word entered in the search bar goes to the storage system of the search engine such as google. Thats why google's stock went down when the federal goverment stated they wanted to look at search items entered to google.They don't delete that stuff.

You can do it 2 ways:  either highlight the search you want removed and just hit the delete button and it will get rid of it, or you can go to your internet settings tool bar and disable the memorize searches function.

DELETING SEARCH HISTORY\n\nInterenet Explorer --\n\nEASY and Quick -- You should do this often\n\n  - TOOLS / INTERNET OPTIONS\n\n  - On the GENERAL Tab, click the 'Clear History' Button in the 'History' section\n\n  - Hint 1:  While you're there, you might want to look at the second section entitled 'Temporary Internet Files'.  I routinely click on 'Delete Cookies' ... more on Cookies later.\n\n  - Hint 2:  You might want to click the 'Delete Files' button too -- Ensure that you delete all Off-Line Content.  Note that the more stored web-pages you have the longer this will take.  If it takes a few minutes to do, you should have done this a long time ago.\n\n  - Hint 3:  Do this every month or so, depending on how much surfing you do or if you find yourself on a page of dubious content\n\n  - Hint 4:  Click the settings button and set "Check for newer versions of stored pages:" to "Every visit to the page".  Not doing this will essentially read the page from your hard drive instead of the website and you will not see the latest changes.\n\n  - Hint 5:  The amount of disk space to use for stored pages should be relatively small -- figure less than 10% of your total drive space (i.e. 10% of a 40GB drive is about 4GB or 4,096MB).  Just a rule of thumb, but that's still a LOT of web pages.  I spend lots of time on the internet surfing all over the place -- Mine is set at 300MB and I have almost a terabyte of disk space.\n\n  - Hint 6:  Days to keep search in history ?  Make some sense ?  Set it to ZERO !\n\n - On the CONTENT Tab, click the AUTO COMPLETE button.  Click the "Clear Forms" button.  This will delete the stuff that you've previously typed into various web-pages.\n\nGOOGLE AND OTHERS \n\nThis is a great source:\n\nhttp://www.searchenginewatch.com/sereport/article.php/2165181\n\n\nCOOKIES and OFF-LINE CONTENT\n\nCookies are small files left on your computer by web-pages to record little things.  They are not all bad.  When you key in your zip code on Yahoo Weather on the home page and say "Save this" -- it does -- in a little Cookie File.  This way, the next time you visit the site, it 'remembers' your zip code.  Fantastic !\n\nBanking sites remember your passwords, your account numbers ... Great ?  Would you like a copy of your bank account number posted on the internet ?  It can be arranged !\n\nThe point is not to be too afraid, but to be responsible.  It's far easier to retype your zip code later than to have all of this junk building up on your computer.\n\nONCE A MONTH OR SO INTERNET HISTORY TO DO LIST --\n\n1. Delete your history, delete your cookies.  Delete your off-line content.\n2. Empty your Recycle Bin\n3. Run Disk Defragmenter ( Start / Programs / Accesories / System Tools / Disk Defragmenter)\n\nThis will take a while.  You should close EVERYTHING down and leave the computer alone for the 5-30 minutes this takes.  It's a good thing to do before you go to bed or before you leave for work.\n\nYou should perform the above steps approximately monthly or more frequently.\n\nVIRUS STUFF AND SEARCH HISTORIES / COOKIES\n\nNever, ever update your anti-virus definitions before you clear out your computer as per above.\n\nIt's also a very good thing NOT to rely too much on automatic updates ... Sometimes, again, about once a month or so, you'll want to MANUALLY update your virus defintions.  If something isn't right, you'll have at least an opportunity to see that it isn't.  Too many times, people believe that their defintions are being kept current, when it's simply been bombing/crashing in the middle of the night and exiting without doing anything.  This is so simple that I still can't believe people don't know this:  As a former hacker, what do you honestly think the very first thing I'm would do to your computer was ?  Duh, Disable your auto-updating !!!\n\nSPYWARE / ADWAR

Double click on the white part, put the pointer on the keyword you want gone and press the delete button. Keep doing this till all the bad sites are gone! The above one is very complicated and I think you mean when you use the Yahoo! search bar.

If you're using the yahoo toolbar, click on the little pencil. On the dropdown menu, click Clear Search History.
