histdel() and .viminfo

I tried to delete all search history using:

:call histdel('/')

And it seemed to worked because:

:call his /

returned nothing, and starting a search, then using up-arrow returned
nothing.

--BUT--

It does not clear the search history kept in .viminfo.

Should it?

histdel({history} [, {item}]) *histdel()*
Clear {history}, i.e. delete all its entries. See |hist-names|
for the possible values of {history}.
