dave b,
["is the form prefill supposed to be the equivalent of autofill? In which case where do I put my details? I can't find it anywhere"]

What form prefill? If you are on Firefox, then bug 6701 has the options open to you... explained. We will have to make a separate page explaining the choices available complete with http links. This form disallows them to prevent spammers from using it.

Ed,
["Please explain how this history is useful to a googlebar user since it is not accessible within the gooblebar interface."]

It most certainly is. 

It will automatically keep search histories. If you do nothing after installing it, it will store 10 searches in your prefs.js file. 

If you never want to have anything stored, uncheck the option, preserve history between browser sessions. (When that is unchecked, the number in the amount to keep element is ignored. Makes sense right?)

If you want to have history items kept during your session, but not on disk in any way... the only way to do that is... by using the pull down menuitem "Clear Search History", preferably just before you exit the session.
