How to disable history search box within website
Hello, i'd like to disable this function in Firefox (see image). it seems if i typed something on the text box (not history in search bar) Firefox will automatically save the text i typed. I have searched the web but i can't find the spesific options in my case, the only similar thread i find here are this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1281693 but even there the issue aren't solved yet. Thank you!

You can disable remembering saved form data via "Settings -> Privacy & Security".
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"

I forgot to mention the website in screenshot are https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action (Official Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Search website).
If that is a function of the website, you may not be able to alter it. I would try using 'History' settings on the Privacy page of Settings. Use 'custom' settings and select only "Remember browsing and download history".
That is the website's search engine. Not Firefox.
@Tnorth i see, thanks for the suggestion.
@FredMcD it's not, (look at images below) this was from the ask forum in this website and see? there's another history for it, I can show you a bunch of other websites that have this similar problem. Seems like Firefox didn't have any feature to disable it.
I have been using Firefox for 2 weeks now, i'm migrated from Chrome btw and Chrome has the feature to disable it with chrome flags.
