How do you delete the entries that come up in the search engine bar?
My google search engine bar and my address bar save everything I type into them (search terms and web addresses) so that if I type something beginning with the same letter again, the old ones pop up.
This can be convenient, but some of them contain typos, or are old, or are personal, etc....
So how can I delete them, and stop the computer doing this?
Thanks so much for any advice - this has been irritating me for so long!! ;~)

Ctrl-H should bring up the History thing.
All the other answers nailed it, sorta.
In most all browsers you can adjust or select the number of days to keep files in the history folder. By default this is normally set at 20 days.
I have found that 3 days is more than enough. By setting the History Files to be kept for 3 days then purged by the system will help increase performance and reduce clutter.
On most browsers the history folder is found in C: Programs/
