Search Engine Autocomplete

In search engines such as Dogpile, Mamma, Northernlights, etc. they have an autocomplete for previous searches beginning with the first letter. i.e. I type in "m" and the list comes up so I can choose previous search words starting with "m".
How do I delete those lists? It seems they are different for each search engine. What files on the pc do I delete? I deleted all temp files, temp internet files, recent, cookies, etc. and they are still there. Are those kept at the search engine site?

Thank you

There are lists stored in your IE and Netscape 6 if you have auto-complete enabled in internet options.

Opem internet options, click on the content tab, click on autocomplete.
You now have the option to clear forms and/or passwords. However, this clears all forms! They did not set it up to clear only selected pages.

You may also consider selecting the autoentry and hitting the DELETE key. This will prevent you from deleting all the autocompleting entries.
