    up with some really strange guess?

    Why is that?

    This really concerns me because a friend has confused his sibling as she thinks he was using her computer....a really strange guess to do with contraception came up when she started typing something in.

    I went through the history which wasn't deleted in a long time and there is nothing related. It's using chrome on an android tablet.

    Thanks.

    You're referring to Google Autocomplete - as you type in the search bar, autocomplete predicts and displays queries to choose from.

    The predictions are supposed to be a reflection of the search activity of users and the content of web pages indexed by Google, but is notorious for taking a standard search and anticipating something completely ridiculous at times.
