Whenever I hit the + to create a new tab in Safari, the cursor goes to the search field in the new tab, and up pops my recent search history for all to see.
I was showing off my new iPad in a work meeting and my search history kept presenting itself. Last night a friend and I were looking up beers at a bar, so that was the entirety of what was seen. Could have been worse, like 'foot fungus cures' etc...
Any way to stop this?
Settings/ Safari/ Private Browsing/ ON
That will prevent all history from being logged, which may have downsides if you use history to re-visit sites.

You should be able to clear it via Settings > Safari > Clear History, and the close Safari completely and your search history should be empty when you re-open it (though you will also lose all your open tabs) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Safari app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Can you stop 'Recent Searches' from appearing in a new tab in Safari?
