Disable Search bar history

Ever since (I think) Opera 10.50 any searches made from the drop-down search bar has saved all searches. It would be nice if there was a way to turn this off. This annoys me because I rarely search for the same term multiple times and I also have an issue with people who use my computer being able to see what I search for. Clicking the "x" next to every search is not a solution. This seems like something very easy to implement and is probably something that should have been there in the first place.

I apologize if a similar topic has already been made; I did a search and did not find one.

In this case using the 'Delete Private Data' option, would be more useful or you simply could open a ' New Private Tab' to prevent your searches from being saved.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

I guess I'll stick to 10.10 then.

You can also run CCleaner from time to time, it will delete all search bar history, that's what I do, not a great solution but it works
