How to clear search history in Yahoo home page?

How do I clear my history on the yahoo home page where it says web search?

• Anytime I doubleclick on the blank screen all my web searches come up. I tried clearing my history but that doesn't work. I use Netscape 8.0 and I clicked on clear my tracks now but that didn't work. I would appreciate help in taking care of this. Thank You in advance. Lorenzo

• Answer:

  To clear your history from Internet Explorer: 1. Go to the "Tools" menu. 2. Select "Internet Options." 3. Click the "General" tab. 4. Click the "Clear History" button. To completely disable the history function, set "Days to keep pages in history" to zero. To turn off this feature: > Open an Internet Explorer page > Go to tools > Click on Internet options > Click the content tab > Then click the auto complete button, make sure you uncheck every thing in there. To clear your history from Mozilla Firefox: 1. Go to the "Tools" menu. 2. Select "Options" > "Privacy" > "History." 3. Click on "Clear." To completely disable the history function, set "Remember visited pages for the last X days" to zero ("0"). 4. Click "OK" to exit. This will resolve it all :) *********** These steps are if you have Yahoo! Toolbar: If you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following: 1. Click the Pencil menu. 2. Select "Clear Recent Searches". If you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the Web, but automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following: 1. Click the Pencil menu. 2. Select "Toolbar Options". 3. Select "Auto-clear recent searches when exiting IE" so there's a checkmark in the box next to it. 4. Click "OK". If you want to disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following: 1. Click the Pencil menu. 2. Select "Toolbar Options". 3. Click "Remember Recent Searches" so there's not a checkmark in the box next to it. 4. Click "OK" ***************** Safari 1. Go to the "Safari" menu and select "Preferences" 2. From the menus that pop up, select "Autofill" 3. Go to "Other forms" line and select the "Edit" button 4. From the list of sites for which AutoFill is currently being applied, select "Google.com" > "Remove" > "Done" ***************** Google Toolbar: For Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), please follow these steps: 1. Click on the "Settings" button located on your Toolbar. 2. Select "Options" from the drop-down menu. 3. Click "Search Box Settings." 4. Un-check the box next to "Suggest popular searches." 5. Click "OK" in each of the windows to close them. For Mozilla Firefox, please follow these steps: 1. Click the "Options" button on your Toolbar. 2. Select the "Search" tab. 3.
