Manage Google autocomplete predictions

When you type in Google, it tries to predict what you’re looking for. This is called autocomplete. You can turn off some of these predictions, or tell Google if there are any issues.

Turn off Search personalization

If you turn off "Search personalization," Google doesn’t predict things based on what you’ve searched for before. If you let Google save what you do, it can make search better for you. Learn how to find and control your Web and App Activity.
