1) Slide your key board open 2)Open your browser 3)Choose the menu command button, it is between the '/' and the 'alt' in the bottom right of the keyboard 4) push the more button on the right of the screen and scrolling menu will appear that starts with 'add bookmarks' then 'find on page' scroll to bottom to 'settings' 5) push settings and scroll down to the 'privacy' heading.  6) push on clear cache, and on clear history.  There are also other things that you can clear like data forms and cookies.  7) You must exit out of the browser and restart it for it to take effect.

This clears the browser history, but does not clear the youtube searches.  I cannot find anyway to clear them.  Does anyone know?

Open youtube.

 

Press 2nd button(i think is the menu button) on the bottom right next to the back button

 

Go to settings and there will be a "clear search history" selection.

Also, in the browser, you can tap the search bar on the google homepage and when it pulls up your prior searches, theres a little "history" link on the right. If you tap that, theres a menu that pulls down that will clear your search history there.
