Deleting unwanted browsing history is unreasonably difficult

Let's say I googled "rectal cancer" on a daily basis 6 months ago. I had quite a challenging time, but thankfully that problem got sorted and I'm ready to put it all behind me.

Problem: I don't want "rectal cancer" showing up in my search suggestions ever again.

I can go to the "History" panel and search for "rectal cancer" to find all the unwanted history entries BUTT I can't delete any of them. The history panel doesn't allow searching and deleting at the same time. So the only option I have is to clear my entire history, or scroll down my history manually for hours to find all the entries I want to remove.

Isn't this almost unbelievably stupid?
