Question delete safari history

Does anyone know how to make safari history(i.e. previously viewed sites searched on google and also previously viewed URL'S on the address bar),,,
go away and stay away for good!!!!!

Previously viewed searches and sites never started popping up until recently and I'm not sure if it was something I did?

Please advise

thanks

Go here;

user>library>safari

Trash the History.plist file.

Open up a text editor, put a word or two in the page and save as History.plist.

Put it in the Safari folder, Get Info and lock it.

No more history saved.

It will save the History as long as you have Safari open, when you quit and reopen, there won't be any history.
