Default Goooooooogle

Google has stopped auto-completing my search terms from my history, and started doing it from their own list. Is this a "FFS don't let the wife see my searches" enhancement?

I do hate it when youtube does that. I wish it could be switched off.

I don't have a problem with that, but I do use auto-complete lazily to bring things back, insted of bookmarking them.
