turn off omnibox suggestions

First, I have to say THANK YOU to SRWare for compiling Iron. It really is the "Browser of the Future."
Now my question: How can we REALLY turn off the Omnibox Suggestion list that Chrome and Iron still feed us?
I gather that Iron sets the Omnibox to provide browsing "suggestions" that it pulls ONLY from your existing browsing history; it apparently does not send a feed to Google for those suggestions (unlike Chrome).
However, I would like to turn off ALL suggestions, including suggestions based on my prior browsing.
I use Iron almost exclusively in Incognito mode, which is not supposed to retain ANY browsing history, and yet when I type in the address box, I inevitably get a long string of "suggestions" all based on prior browsing. This strikes me as a complete contradiction of the Incognito concept.
How can we turn this off? Is there a setting in Iron that will really turn off suggestions AND turn off our browsing history monitoring??
