Where is the text cache?

I want to selectively (or entirely) if necessary, clear some text that is cached.

For example the "Ship To" field in Create Contracts or the "Filter" field in Industry.

In addition to the items cleared that are listed in the wiki entry above there are a couple, at least, fields that remember strings that can be cleared. E.g. in People and Places you can enter a character or other name and the UI remembers previous entries. If, like me, you sometime make typos it can be annoying seeing all them pop up when you are typing something in that field. You can right click in the text input box and there is a clear option, that will remove all the 'history'. The same applies in the search box in the Market UI. I haven't tried doing that in Contract / name search or other areas and haven't seen a list anywhere of which data entry fields can be cleared. Would be useful to know tbh.

This was helpful and would have done exactly what I needed without the "bigger hammer" of whacking everything.

Thanks to both of your for your help.
