Preferences, Autofill, clear it from there. Untick the third-party option if you don't want it to do that, too.

Tanj, another iPhone Safari question...
is there a preference option in the iphone's safari?
im just trying to clean up my iphone including all these accidental searches made by the annoying auto correction....in addition to all the porn searches
So does anyone have the solution to maclook's problem of removing the entries as shown in the image below?
Yes, under Settings => Safari
I did first run the following options: 'Clear History', 'Clear Cookies', & 'Clear Cache'
Back in Safari if I clear the address field & then enter 'www.', I still get all the previous pages I have entered.

great, im glad someone else has the problem (sorry gjw4u :/). i was starting think it was an isolated case with my iphone. its just annoying to me...
Found the cause / solution to the entries listed in my earlier post.
The entries are not caused by the history, and can thus not be removed by clearing the history in the safari setting. The entries are actually all the link stored in the safari bookmarks.
So to remove the unwanted entries, open safari on the iPhone and click on the 'bookmark' icon at the bottom.
In 'Bookmarks' click on the 'edit' button at the bottom and proceede to remove any unwanted 'bookmark folders' or 'individual bookmarks' as needed.
Note that you can also remove all new history entries here, by opening the the 'History' folder at the top, and than selecting the 'Clear' button at the bottom.

Well the only way I know of clearing history Safari is to:
Tap Settings
Tap Safari
Tap Clear History, Cookies, and cache
Tap Search engine
Tap Yahoo!
Tap Google
and your search history is gone.
Hope that helps.

INSIDE safari
go to bookmarks (the little book on the bottom bar)
then go to history (its an option on the main bookmarks menu)
then there is a clear history option in the bottom left corner
this will clear google searches as well as browser history
clearing from the settings menu does not remove google searches for whatever reason
you guys are doing it wrong, WITHIN SAFARI, hit the book icon, then hit history, and on the bottom left hit CLEAR. done.

you have to switch your default search engine to yahoo and back to google to clear the google specific part of the address bar.
also, for those saying that addresses don't clear up from autofill in the address bar after a history clear, it's because they're bookmarks.
