How to delete web search in yahoo on a mac?

Web Search Box in Yahoo - accumulates entries in dropdown - how do you DELETE? No Yahoo toolbar?

  • Don't have Yahoo Toolbar - just to the left of the WEB SEARCH box on Yahoo's Home Page, every time you enter something and click web search, it "retains" the word (s) typed in and the list just grows and grows. How do you delete this list that pappears in the dropdown?

  • Answer:

    IE6: Tools > Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete > Clear Forms. This will clear out ALL your autocompleted forms, such as search windows, form fill-ins, etc. You can also reset your Auto-Complete options here. Other browsers have something similar, you just need to find it! Or, to delete just a single (or a few) searches, just have them highlighted in the drop-down list and hit DELETE -- they will vanish! If you hold down the key, the whole drop-down list of searches will delete. If you are using the Yahoo! Toolbar, I believe there is a drop-down box at the end of the search window that has the option to CLEAR SEARCHES on it. BTW, clearing your history, as some people may suggest to do, only clears out the PAGE locations that you have recently visited, NOT the searches!!

Go to set program access and defaults and you go down to yahoo and you will find the yahoo toolbar and you can remove it.
