Clear search on pc

Someone has used my pc to look at naughty pics on the net ::) I know who it is, the pc will be off when they come round again ;D So I cleared everything off then used the 'search' to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I think everything's gone now but when I search for something it autocompletes. So if I search for something beginning with 's', it has a small list of things beginning with 's' which doesn't bother me but if one of the kids uses this pc (which is rarely) I don't want them to search then see the word 'sex'. That was just an example, the words I used were a lot worse lol.

So how do I clear the autocomplete thing?
