When I enter my word in the search box eg "apple" all other previous searches Ive done beginning with "a" appear in a drop down menu as soon as i enter the letter "a". How do I clear my previous searches or stop this from happening again?

as with any internet browser, you must clear your cache or history. Go to your main internet options, then select "clear history" that should do it!! They also recommend cleaning out your cookies every so often as well to keep your computer running at it's optimum speed. Hope this helps :)
