The Solution

1)Just right click the taskbar & click on the Task Manager, & Ctrl+Alt+delete is its shortcut in itself.

2) Which browser u r using.

Answer to your questions:
(1) : To open task manager right click on empty space of Taskbar and then click task manager. (task bar is the bottom bar on which start option is located).

2. If you wnat to delete the pre searched item detail just do the following.
Go to
Start
search
and then type any name, when the earlier searched item pops up, press down arrow(not enter) (to highlight those item you want to delete) and then press delete.

@ Manohan

This method deletes the suggestions for the current search session but when I start the search again, they appear again. I think Anil want to delete them permanently.

@ wolvorine

This method is not working at all. I tried it both on windows xp and Vista Home edition.

Here's a link to the 100% working solution to the problem,
