Autocomplete in Search window: how to clear?

Can I permanently clear the autocomplete entries in the Search feature?
Autocomplete can be turned off, but when turned back on, the entries are still
there.

Thanks.

Duh

Jay, you can but you will have to edit the registry to do it. The entries
can be found at this location in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru. You will have
to delete the strings in the subfolders.
