You have 3 options. Type in the 1st one or few characters of a previous search & autocomplete will fill the rest. Or clear it. Or not use autocomplete. In the example below, you can choose option 2 which is autocomplete. Else choose option 1 which is manual input. Option 3 is clear previous search history which can be handy if you've had a lot of similar varied searches that start with the same letters. Or you simply want to remove previous autocomplete history.

I also like using autocomplete. If you want to vary the search title, then change the part you wish & autocomplete will also remember that. So as soon as you reach that part of the search title in the next search it will also be auto-completed.

As Only A Hobo was refering to, on the older versions, you only had one option. You either had autocomplete enabled or didn't. ie: via LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>View>Autocomplete.
