How to Delete Google's Advanced Search Words in Google

Google started as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while the two were students at Stanford University.n Today, Google's index of web pages is the largest in the world and Google is able to search the entire collection in less than half a second. Depending on how the settings are configured on your computer, Google may use "advanced search words." This means that when you begin to type a word in the Google search box, Google will complete the word for you based on past searches. This can be problematic for some people, and can be deleted fairly easily.
