Removing Search History

Does anyone know of a way to remove the search history from say Yahoo, Google, and MSN search? every time I go to the search bar and begin to input what I'm looking for, I get this auto-list of items that I searched for previously. It's kinda of annoying, but I can't figure out how to remove them.

In google all you have to do is type the first letter "A" for example, and then with the highlighted first saved search press the delete key, repeat for all the "A's" and the rest of the letters.

I am not sure if there is an automated way, though it would make sense that the information is saved in some file. I am using IE 6 in this example.

In IE, you can delete them by going to Tools, Options, and then just delete history.

Actually delete history wont remove form data. To remove all form data you have to go to Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Content tab > Autocomplete button > and click the Clear Forms button.
