I'm building an autosuggest search, like apple's spotlight... and want to disable the browser from offering text suggestions under the input box. I can't remember if that's an html or css setting and can't find it.
Anyone remember?

This can be done in a <form> for a complete form or for specific <input> elements: Add autocomplete="off" onto the <form> element to disable autocomplete for the entire form. Add autocomplete="off" for a specific <input> element of the form.
you can disable via css: pointer-events: none; Doesn't work everywhere though. Text input can still be tabbed into.
Definition and Usage A disabled input element is unusable and un-clickable. The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from using the <input> element until some other condition has been met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript could remove the disabled value, and make the <input> element usable.
The autocomplete attribute specifies whether a form should have autocomplete on or off. When autocomplete is on, the browser automatically complete values based on values that the user has entered before. Tip: It is possible to have autocomplete "on" for the form, and "off" for specific input fields, or vice versa.
The attribute:
<form autocomplete="off"> is, I think, what you're looking for.
