Bear with me. First problem: as I type in the yahoo search box, as noted above proper suggestions appear, but sometimes suggestion appear that I definitely recognize as previous searches. Second problem: when I finish typing the item to be searched and find that I want to change it by backspacing, both suggestions and previous searches appear. I do not want the suggestions to appear and certainly not the prior searches. Help !!!
