For Internet Explorer: Click on Tools. Then Internet Options. Click on Content and then Auto Complete. Then click on Clear Forms. This will erase your search history. If you don't want things showing up again in your search history then deselect the Auto Complete options at the top. Be sure to select apply or ok at the bottom

Answer 5

Which browser are you using?

Internet Explorer:

Clear your temp files/cookies. (on IE, it should be under Tools -> Internet Options)

Then, while still in the Internet Options menu, click "Content" then "Autocomplete" and make sure to uncheck everything. Click "Okay" and nothing should autocomplete for you anymore.
