Default Search History/ Auto Fill Text Problem

My problem is that Whenever I search something on google or any other site
whether it be ask or something like youtube, whatever I type in the computer
remembers it and puts my search in this box with my other searches. I am able
to delete them from the box that is located around the typing area but I have
to do it all the time because sometimes it gets just so overwhelming. I am
just annoyed by it because what ever I type as my first letter in a search
engine a word with that first letter occasionally takes over the space. It
gets really fustrating sometimes. Sometimes type history is convenient but I
would rather have it stay in my history section in favorites. If anyone has
any idea of how to fix my problem please e-mail me. Another clue to my
problem is that it's the thing that automatically fills in a password or
username and I don't like that either due to security reasons. I would
greatly appreciate the help. Thank you.
