How do I disable auto complete in "search"

When I search for a file in "Search" it will store the title of the file and pop it up next time i try to search for another file "with the same first few letters or so" I'd like to know how to turn this off or clear its stored information, I already have auto-complete disabled in IE.

I have win XP Pro Service pack 3, blah blah blah
Thanks in advance!

You could also periodically delete the registry key which stores the data. Just copy and paste the following code into notepad and save it as a .reg file and run it whenever you need to:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru]
You can prevent the data from being saved by restricting permissions to the registry key itself.
