How do I clear Yahoo Search

I reccently searched for something (naughty) on my work computer - ok, bad girl bad girl - however, now if I'm in Yahoo and I even type the first 3 letters of that, it pops the whole search up - how can I clear that so somone doesn't sit at my computer and type a couple letters in and it comes up - I cleared the history, but that didn't seem to clear the search words out.

Thanks!

some businesses have a computer monitoring what websites you go too. So even if you clear out everything on your computer its still in the logs on the other computer.

Again it all depends on how some businesses run the network

Another method is to click the empty search field and when the previous searches pop up scroll down till you find the one you want and hit delete or you can just hold down the delete key on the first one and delete all of them.
