How do you clear "top hits"

I'd like to clear my "Top Hits" in Safari (not top sites but Top Hits). As you start typing in the address/ search bar in Safari suggestions (ie Top Hits) start to come up. I would like to celar this. I've tired a number of things, but to no avail.

Mac Mail-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Bermudapilot,


I just ran into the same issue. But it was only one Top Hit I wanted to delete. What I eventually did was go to the page that I wanted to delete from top hits. Then I went to Show History in the History menu. I highlighted the item I wanted to delete, right clicked, and hit "delete."


Now that URL never autocompletes when I start typing it. It seems this will work for any URL you want to delete from your Top Hits/URL autocomplete. I imagine that deleting your whole history will delete all autocompleted URLs, but I don't want to test that becaues I want most of my autocompletes.


Best,
