Remarks

Completely delete the history. Use this call to implement a "clear history" UI.

Any application that implements search suggestions based on previous actions (such as recent queries, page/items viewed, etc.) should provide a way for the user to clear the history. This gives the user a measure of privacy, if they do not wish for their recent searches to be replayed by other users of the device (via suggestions).
