You know how when you go to a box on a website that starts to fill in with possible words your typing based on other entries you made in the past? This happens in my Yahoo and EBAy search word windows. How the F do you stop that and empty it's list. When I go to ebay the damn list drops to the bottom of my screen I have so many search words that have been used. I have tried clearing the temp IE files, cookies, and history to no awail.

Do CTRL+O next time so it wont show.

Or google search www.bukkakeanalmidgetcatporn.com instead of typing it in

[suddenly after internet searches S.O. gets mysterious links for miget porn in his e-mail.]

No, really, I am on a shared work computer so I dont need items popping down for guns, right wings sites, car sites and other crap that could give me grief.

Type in enough work related pages to knock the "bad" ones off and do the Control+O thing form now on
