◙ NOTE: AutoComplete may not stay off completely because some webmasters have autocomplete="on" in the form tag in their web forms. If you come to one of these and you can't get the AutoComplete to leave you alone while you type something in to the form. Simply paste the text in from a wordprocessor or notepad and it won't bother you.

Answer 2

first, you need to remember part of a search you have done. Go into Start, Search, type in the search you used and search for it. When you find it, which you should no matter what search engine you used, start deleting (holding down the Shift key on the top one to delete and clicking on the last one will highlight them all). Good Luck.
