    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.

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