not on mac right now, but there should be under history in the menu bar an option to remove/clear history.

i don't believe that you can clear specific items (at least without incredible knowledge of the cache and ability to view hidden files).

you can do it in Safari Preferences. In the Autofill tab select Edit under Other Forms. Then you can remove the history from certain sites or all. Or simply uncheck it if you don't want it to save any searches
