Using Safari on an iPad Air 2 I have noticed recently that after clearing my browsing history and removing all website data, when I type even a single letter into the address bar it always displays the top hit. I have checked and unchecked every option available in Safari preferences and it still occurs whether I choose Google or Bing as my search engine. Am I missing something?

I don't see an issue here. It's designed to give you suggestions based on what you type. If you feel like it's not working properly the only thing you can really do is restore the iPad since you can't delete Safari and reinstall it.
You don't see an issue with selecting the option "Clear History and Website Data" then going into "Advanced" just below there and clicking the tab that says "Website Data" which now shows 0 bytes as it should and yet, even with that done and all the options for preload top hit and search suggestions turned off... Even after doing all these things which would normally leave no website data, when i open safari, and type just 1 letter into the address bar.. a site that you've been to is still listed as Top Hit after clearing all browsing history and website data. And not just one site. If you type the letter A - Apple.com D - digitalocean.com W - Wordsmith.org. Plus below where it lists the "Top Hits" it lists the bookmarks and history associated with whatever letter I've typed in..... all this is directly AFTER supposedly clearing all website data.
