Unable to turn off Suggestions and history in Safari search, Unable to turn off Suggestions and history in Safari search

Not matter what I try, including turning off "Search Engine Suggestions and Preload Top Hits", when I start to type in the Safari/Google search bar, it pulls up "Top Hits and Bookmarks and History"

Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening?

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.3

There is no way to turn off all suggestions when you type, unless you're using Private Browsing mode.


The "Search Engine Suggestions" only disables sending what you type to the selected search engine (Google, Bing, etc.). It does not prevent Safari from providing suggestions based on your browsing history and your bookmarks stored locally on disk.


To enable Private Browsing mode, tap the address view, then tap "Private" button on top of the keyboard. After enabling Private Browsing, no more suggestions will be listed from history or bookmarks, and if "Search Engine Suggestions" are off, then nothing should be listed.
