In Internet Explorer - select Options - General and at the bottom, lower the "history" to 0, then periodically delete the cookies, and temporary files and clear history.  Then in the options go to the Content tab and under personal information, auto complete, clear the forms which will eliminate the "auto listing" from the pull down for any searches.
