I think someone searched for things they shouldn't have. . .

Clearing Just Your Google History:

1. Goto the Safari Menu
2. Select Preferences
3. Select Autofill tab
4. Select the Edit button from the Other Forms Line
5. From the AutoFill list of sites select Google.com
6. Select Remove
7. Select Done

You can completely reset Safari, if you're desperate.

Reset Safari:

This just doesn't erase your google data, it erases your cookies, autofills, cache, history list, usernames, and passwords.

1. Goto the Safari menu
2. Click Safari
3. Select Reset Safari

No, sorry, I don't use Safari and I'm not familiar with it at all.

Does this work? Seems straightforward enough.

Safari

* Click on "History" in the top menu.
* Click "Erase History" at the bottom of the menu.

I tried that. Apparently I have to delete temporary internet files >.<

Go to User> Library> Safari

Trash the History.plist file.

Open up a text editor, put a word or two in the page and save as History.plist.

Put it in the Safari folder, Get Info and lock it.

No more history saved.

It will save the history as long as you have Safari open, when you quit and reopen, there won't be any history.

Where is User?
MissHygienic
Probably in the browser? Unless those directions were for a Mac. Hmm. My advice would be to reset Safari altogether.

Cache - Safari - Windows
Choose Empty Cache from the Edit menu, then click Empty.

Google - Remove search subject history
Go to Google Website - http://www.google.com
Click inside of the Google search box
Type the first letter of the search request you wish to erase
A list of search requests will appear
Move the mouse to highlight the search request you wish to erase, do not click the mouse button
Press the "Delete" key
