I have been using the built-in search box which comes preinstalled in my firefox browser, and daily i make some searches, but i recently found that when i just start typing something in the same search box, the previously searched keywords diretly show up there, revealing all my previous searches which is not a good feature. Anyway i can disable this feature to remove or hide the previous searches? – Question by Ashwin Kumar<\/p>\n

These are different settings and options based on the browsers and you need to perform different steps for implementing this. Lets check out all the options for the most used browsers ie Firefox, Internet Explorer & Safari.<\/p>\n
