    Where do I turn off search suggestions in Google and DuckDuckGo Search Engine. They WERE off but have returned.

    As usual, as soon as I post I find I may have found it. Will let you know.

    Clicked the 3 horizontal lines. Clicked ON button by Autocomplete Suggestions, and then the button changed to OFF.

    I don't use chrome as a browser so I can't show you those settings.

    I turn off search suggestions in the browser. (Once I do that, they don't return in a day or two.) If you clean things then what ever changes you make might be going back to defaults with auto complete back on.
    This is from FF/Settings/Search
    If I choose to use another search engine like Google, Bing, or Startpage, the settings stay the same - everything UNSELECTED.
