Internet Search Engines

[Guest]

Hi, I feel kind of dumb asking this, but here goes anyway:

You how when you search for something in Yahoo or Google or other search
websites, whatever you type in gets saved? So when the next time you type in
a letter, a list of words or phrases that start with that letter appears.

I was wondering if I can stop Internet Explorer from doing this? Is it
possible to keep the search box blank and stop saving every word or phrase I
look for?

Thanks a lot Galen! I had a little trouble googling this since I didn't know
exactly what to search for.

Thanks again!

Not a problem, autocomplete seems to be an often asked question...
