Hello,

Don't know if this is the right group for this question, but I've
noticed when I start to enter a word into the Google search bar a drop
down list will come up containing things I searched for previously, even
the day before?!

Are those things stored on my computer, and if so, how do I clean them
at the end of the day?

Thanks

Steve

I had same thing. A quick search of google help gave following answer.
"AutoComplete (Internet Explorer):
Tools>Internet Options>Content>AutoComplete
This brings up the AutoComplete dialog box. Remove the tick from 'forms'.
It appears that Internet Explorer assumes that the search bar of google is a
form and if that is ticked as above it will remember every search that you do.
