How do I turn off hierarchical keywording in LR 5?  The interface preference for auto complete is off and I still get California United State Country.  I just want Caliofrnia.

How do I turn off hierarchical key wording in Lightroom?  The Interface Preference for Auto Complete is already turned off, but I still get California>United States>North America when all I need is California.

One reason why you may see the hierarchical type format for the keywords is that you have keyword 'California' duplicated in your keyword list.
Lightroom will display them with "< Parent-keywords" appended to the end.
ie California < State < Country  and California < United States
If you re-keyword the photos so they only use one version and then delete the duplicate keyword from your keyword list then it will display just "California".
