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.

Learn more about how autocomplete works.

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.

If you’re signed in to your Google Account and "Search personalization" is on, you’ll receive personalized predictions and recommendations in Google Search. If you don’t want to get predictions and recommendations, you can turn off Search personalization.

If you turn off trending searches, it only turns them off in the Google app on the phone or tablet that you’re using. To turn them off on google.com, you need to change the settings in a browser.
