When I type in a search destination, even the first letter, I get printed out below the search destination request box a list of all the destinations that I have requested and been to in the past that start with that same letter or part completed destination request. I find this anoying and wish to stop it. How do I do this please.

Theses are stored as part of form autocomplete, to stop this from happening you can turn off form autocomplete, for details see the form autocomplete article.

Another possibility, could this be the search suggestions feature. To turn that off, right-click on the search bar and de-select the setting to "Show Suggestions"
