The record of search history which appears in the search box on Yahoo! is actually a feature controlled by your browser, not Yahoo! If you have Internet Explorer as your browser, you may stop the search history from being generated by following the instructions below: Select the the 'Tools' menu in Internet Explorer. Select 'Internet Options', then select the 'Content' tab. Under Personal information, click on the 'AutoComplete' box. On the AutoComplete Settings window you can click the 'Clear Forms' box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history.

If you use Internet Explorer, first click on Tools, Internet Options, and Clear History. Next, click the Content tab, AutoComplete, and click the Clear Forms and Clear Passwords buttons. You can also change the settings for what Auto Complete is used for.

It depends on what you have as your browser. If you have internet explorer, you can't clear it. If you have Mozilla Firefox you can clear it by going to "clear private data"
