Answer 1

You need to erase the internet cache.

If you are using firefox then: Tools -> Clear Private Data -> (check all items) -> Clear Private Data Now

IE: Tools -> Internet Options -> Delete Files | Cookies | Clear History

You could also do a clean wipe of everything by using ccleaner (its free). Download link below.

Answer 2

You need to clear or disable Auto Complete. This saves all previous searches in your search bar. Here's how to fix the problem:

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.
