menu pops up everytime you search with previous searches.

Some web browsers save information you type into web pages (known as
form information). Instructions for some web browsers:

If you are using Internet Explorer 6, click "Tools", select "Internet
Options", click "Content" tab, push "AutoComplete", and uncheck
"Forms". To clear previous searches, push "Clear Forms". You can also
delete search queries one by one: empty the Google Search Field and
double-click on it to see the earlier search queries, and delete
individual searches by moving the mouse cursor (or use Down arrow key)
over one of the search queries and press Delete key on keyboard.

If you have Mozilla Firebird 0.x, click "Tools", select "Options",
click "Privacy", click "+" next to "Saved Form Information", and
uncheck "Save information I enter in web page forms and the Search
Bar". To clear previous searches, push "Clear" next to "Saved Form
Information".

If you have Mozilla Firefox 0.x/1.0.x, click "Tools", select
"Options", click "Privacy", click "+" next to "Saved Form
Information", and uncheck "Save information I enter in web page forms
and the Search Bar". To clear previous searches, push "Clear" next to
"Saved Form Information". If you have Mozilla Firefox 0.9 or above,
you can also delete search queries one by one: empty the Google Search
Field and double-click on it to see the earlier search queries (or use
Down arrow key), and delete individual searches by moving the mouse
cursor (or use Down arrow key) over one of the search queries and
press Shift + Delete on keyboard (press Shift key and keep it pressed,
then press Delete key once and release it, finally release Shift key).

If you are using Netscape 8, at the top part of the Netscape browser
window there should a Location bar (also called address field). Type
about:config into the Location bar (and press Enter). Now you should
see a text field (also called a text box) right to text "Filter:".
Type browser.formfill.enable to the text field. Now you should see
under the text field "browser.formfill.enable". Double-click it to
change it from value true to false. You can also delete search queries
one by one: empty the Google Search Field and double-click on it to
see the earlier search queries (or use Down arrow key), and delete
individual searches by moving the mouse cursor (or use Down arrow key)
over one of the search queries and press Shift + Delete on keyboard
(press Shift key and keep it pressed, then press Delete key once and
release it, finally release Shift key).

If you are using Netscape 8 in Windows, and you want to use Internet
Explorer engine for Google, you can also do this: go to the main page
of Google (you can do the same procedure for the national domains of
Google, for example google.co.uk), and if the icon at the bottom left
corner of the Netscape browser window looks like a Mozilla icon, click
it and select "Display Like Internet Explorer" so Netscape uses
Internet Explorer's AutoComplete mechanism to save form information.
Now you can go to Internet Explorer, and empty or disable the
AutoComplete information from Internet Explorer, by selecting "Tools",
"Internet Options", "Content", and "AutoComplete".

If you're using Safari on a Macintosh: In the "Safari" menu, choose
"Preferences..." and click on the "AutoFill" tab. Uncheck the "Other
Forms" box to stop all autofilling. If you do want to keep
autofilling forms on certain web sites, click the "Edit" button and
add those sites to the list.

In the Mac version of Firefox, go to the "Firefox" menu, and choose
"Preferences", then "Privacy", then "Saved Form Information".
