how do stop my google/yahoo browser from listing all my previous searches starting with the same letter?

Question

it gives me a list of previous seaches

Answer 1

it's not the google/yahoo browser, and it's not the internet history either (deleting your history will not fix this situation), it's your autocomplete options.

go to "tools" -> internet options -> "content" tab -> "autocomplete" button. Uncheck all boxes, click clear forms, clear passwords, then click okay. the stored "forms" and passwords will no longer fill in, and new information won't be stored.

Answer 3

Depends on the version of software you are running...

try the following on your browser....

Select 'Tools'
Internet Options
Content Tab
Auto complete - untick all of the options to save details. then clear

If you're not on XP, the settings should still be set somewhere similar as they all have a variation on the same theme.

Good luck
