I'm using the Firefox edition which I don't think allows you to stop it from remembering, but the Internet Explorer edition might. Go to the little pencil icon and then click on "Toolbar Options." That may offer an option to not remember searches.

It depends on which browser you use:\nFirefox: Tools > Options > Privacy > Saved Forms > uncheck "remember forms"\nInternet Explorer: not sure, probably should be an option under Tools. \n\nAlso, you can delete individual search items by holding down Shift while hitting delete.  \n\nHope this helps!  Good luck!

If you have disabled the search history but are still seeing items suggested when you type, your browser is saving that information. For Internet Explorer, check your options under Tools>Internet Options>AutoFill. For Mozilla Firefox, check Tools>Options>Privacy>Saved Form Information. Hope this will help you. Good luck.
