How can I clear the suggestions that appear in my search box when I type in a word?

Question

Every time I begin to type in a word in the search box a long list of items that begin with that letter appear from previous searches how can I clear this.

Answer 1

That is part of the autofill feature that can be turned off in options.

In IE go to internet options/ content/ autocomplete/ settings/ forms.

In Firefox go to options/ privacy/ history/ remember what I enter in forms and the search bar.

You can also delete the entries by double clicking on an empty search box, dropping down to the first item, and then pressing delete for each entry.
