How to stop google.com from showing recent search drop-down list?

Question

In google.com page, it makes me annoying that showing my recent searches in drop-down list since they are irrelevant to what i'm going to search.

I know that it won't appear after I clear my history and prevent Google from saving my activity, but it also turn off customized searches or services. Is there a way to just not showing drop-down list?

You can switch off instant search via your settings http://www.google.com/preferences. It is not possible to disable the autocomplete.
