Hey all, as some of you may or may not be familiar with, the address bar in Safari sort of autocompletes websites based on things you visit frequently. E.g. Screen Shot 2014-11-20 at 12.09.09 PM.png

Now, for certain websites it's pretty convenient, because I can just type "f" and enter to get to Facebook. However, there are sites that I would prefer not be included in that type of thing. I reformatted my computer the other day, but the autocompletion remains. I'm assuming because it synced mac -> phone -> mac...but how on earth can I reset it?

To be clear, I don't want to 'blacklist' certain sites, I just want to delete whatever history I have and start fresh.

tl;dr: how do I reset the address bar autocompletion in Safari?
