Hank, there IS no Safari.plist.

I go from ... com.apple.RegLogicStudio.plist
... to ... com.apple.security.systemidentities.plist

Even if Safari.plist WAS there, no amateur [like me] would DARE fiddle with it.

I am new to Apple, and am very disappointed at the lack of a delete facility in the search box. Very short sighted.

To delete search items you need to edit the preference file for Safari ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Look for the RecentSearchStrings tag in the xml and you can delete any/all items.

your solution is close to perfect but when you only want google to be deleted it doesn't permanently deletes recent searches, and for a second look it just disabled auto fill. but this tip is quite helpful tough. now its for me to find my own solution for permanent deleting program.. anyway thanks its nearly a help.

At item #6 there appears nothing to remove. I'm unable to select "remove." My problem is that Safari reset command, has been somehow disabled. It work correctly for a period of time. Now, it doesn't work at all.

This doesn't permanently keep new searches from being stored.
(I find it annoying, for some reason, to be reminded of past searches.)
If you follow these instructions under "Clearing Just Your Google History," this gets you half way there. After that, you also have to uncheck the Autofill box.
That's working for me so far.

this does not clear the search history. it merely disables the auto-fill function. As soon as you re-activate the auto-fill function the search history is retrieved.

it seems the only way to clear the search history is to reset safari.
