    How do you stop google from guessing what word your typing in? (ie. when you type in C, a list of stuff previously searched beginning with C comes up?

    Actually it's under "Content" In the Internet Options dialogue box. "Auto Complete". Just disable it.

    Thought I think clearing the browser history might do the same thing... cba to check :cool:

    autocomplete is the option to stop it completly.

    but afaik if the history has not been cleared the cached information will still populate on the google page as you start to type

    That reminds me of what happened to a buddy of mine's buddy... He borrowed sister's laptop for a bit, then just before he was to give it back he couldn't stop it from showing all the less savoury searches he had... There was a bit of panic for a while until he figured it out...:)
