Google remembers what I search!

Hi
I now have to share my computer with my DD, and when I go onto google, if I type the first letter of something I am seraching for, a few of my recent searches that also start with that letter appear!
Now while this was handy for me before, I would like to remove that function. I have deleted cookies but that does not seem to have done the trick!
Any ideas much appreciated!:D

    in tools -> Internet options -> Content there is a 'autocomplete' section. Untick the checkboxes in here to stop future occurrences. It also says in there how to delete the current history

    Which browser are you using? In IE click on tools, delete browisng history, in Firefox click on tools, clear private data.

    Really what you should od is set your PC up with seperate accounts and password them so your daughter can't log onto your account. Also make hers a restricted account to limti what she has access to. That way she won't be abel to see your browsing history as she will be using her own instance of IE or Firefox on her account.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
