every time I start typing the URL for the BBC website, I
get as far as 'news' before it supplies the full URL to a section of the
site about international rugby fixtures that I went to a couple of years
ago. I don't share the OP's paranoia, but I do find it irritating.

Unlearn touch typing and look at the keys instead and you will
not be bothered in most cases <g>

Heh - nice idea but it doesn't make a difference in this case - the URL
supplied by Safari is an extention on the one I wanted "news.bbc.co.uk"
and "news.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby/international_fixtures" (not exact, but
close enough). As I said in my next post, it was reading my bookmarks
and supplying a choice from that. After deleting the bookmark it works
as I prefer now.

Actually, most of the time I find these "auto fills" a very
useful business as it so often then requires no or only a little
modification.

They can be, but most of the time I find them a pain rather than a help.
Or it may be that I only notice it when it's being a pain.
