He's talking about search engine history, not browser history. The search engine service retains the search info in their logs, so when you log into their service again it remembers what you searched for. In Google's case, they use that info and the info in your GMail to display ads according to your interests on sites with AdSense.
You'll have to ask the service about that, I know there is a way to do it in Google but just don't remember, I think it was in your account settings.

CCleaner is a good one, will clean your history, cookies etc. and its a free app

If you have a toolbar (Google) you should be able to go in to the search history tab in the toolbar and click "delete search history"
