Is this what you're talking about https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15738259/disabling-chrome-autofill? — j08691, Jul 24 '19 at 12:58
I believe this is browser controlled. Without actually seeing the way it works, I would think Chrome looks for the name / ids to look for previously entered values. You could randomise the input name and id on each page load or change it intermittently during a session. -- Not sure if this is even feasible - just an idea. Here's what got me thinking : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7223168/how-to-trigger-autofill-in-google-chrome/9795126#9795126 — alpharomeo, Jul 24 '19 at 13:11

To remove autofill data in chrome. You will have to Clear your auto fill data.

Open the chrome menu using the three dots in the top, right side of your window and click settings, or navigate to chrome://settings in your address bar.
Scroll to the bottom and go into the 'Advanced' section
Under 'Privacy and security' select 'Clear browsing data'
Then make sure only 'Auto-fill' form data is selected and press the Clear data button
Chrome has now removed your auto fill data.

This work for me.... generate aleatory id and data-attr with the real name of input field

 searchid=randomid
              <input class="form-control" type="search" style="width: 292px" name="<%=searchid %>" id="<%=searchid %>" data-name="PRLDEScripcion" value="" maxlength="100" placeholder="Teclee para buscar un artículo...">
                <script>  
                    
                    $("#<%=searchid %>").autocomplete({....

And change name on load

$(function () {
$("input[type='search']").each(function(){$(this).attr("name", $(this).attr("data-name"))})

}
