Did you surf for porn on your parents computer or something?

lol, No, but it's very annoying to see my old searches spamming up the search line.

The amusing thing here is the idea that a Google product is not remembering your searches. That is very amusing. I would not take much comfort in the thought that the process is simply hidden from the end-user... as your searches are still added to the ever growing Google databases.

Go to 'Internet Options' then 'Browsing History' and select 'Delete browsing history upon exit'.
OR
Use CCleaner which Marble suggested after every use of your browser
OR
Go to settings, 'History', and select 'Delete browsing history' have the option of 'past hour', 'past day' etc or 'beginning of time'.

All of which does nothing to erase your tracks from Server-side snooping.
Safari + Adblock + Ghostery + don't stay logged into your Google account all the time.
I don't know about Chrome. Don't use it.

Is he looking to remove the server side history or just to get Chrome to stop bringing up a long list of crap that he has already searched for on his own computer?
Seems to me that it is the latter he is asking about (though I may be wrong) and if so then what eselam posted would work just fine.

For sure, Mes. The point is that it may keep things clean on your side of things, but it does almost nothing to minimize ones Internet footprint. It's sort of like walking around for miles in large boots, making a trail all the way back to your door and then cleaning up your entrance hall.

google it! 
I'd recomend www.duckduckgo.com its a search engine that does not track / save searches. Oh and drop Chrome its designed to track you.

Or get Google drunk. It wont remember a thing in the morning.
Or download ccleaner by piriform. It's really small and puts an option on the right click menu of your recycling bin to erase all that kind of stuff.
Or you could use Firefox it has an option to delete all browsing data. Plus its better than chrome.
You got to it before I could. Yeah, do that! For a browser that would keep most private, use midori, and its private browsing mode. Some pages will appear funky, but it will keep your footprints off the net. Oh, also, if you don't like being tracked, block facebook servers in your hosts file.
