Question

Stop past sites from dropping down when you type in just a afew letters?

Answer 1

Open tools and enter inet options. Use the clear history tab.

Answer 2

IE6: Tools > Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete > Clear Forms. This will clear out ALL your autocompleted forms, such as search windows, form fill-ins, etc. You can also reset your Auto-Complete options here. Other browsers have something similar, you just need to find it!

Or, to delete just a single (or a few) searches, just have them highlighted in the drop-down list and hit DELETE -- they will vanish! If you hold down the key, the whole drop-down list of searches will delete.

If you are using the Yahoo! Toolbar, I believe there is a drop-down box at the end of the search window that has the option to CLEAR SEARCHES on it.

BTW, clearing your history, as some people may suggest to do, only clears out the PAGE locations that you have recently visited, NOT the searches!!

Answer 3

clear your history when you are through using the computer each time. If you are asking about Yahoo search, there is a tab in the drop down on the search box where you can un-check 'enable search history'.
