text: when i type a letter in the search bar, all sorts of past search words pop up. how do i get rid of them.? a house sitter used my computer to search for all kinds of porn and whatever else.  i use my computer in my home office and don't want to see girls gone wild everytime i search starting with the letter "g".  i know how to clear url's, but how do i erase the search bar in yahoo and google. if ur using internet explorer...then  u can disable the autocomplete option..i.e go to tools>>>internet options>>>contents>>>autocomplete>>>uncheck all the check boxes u have there.  after this u need to clear cookies and clear files in the internet options under general.
