A little help please gents, I have a Sony Xperia Z5, and can quite happily delete the web search history, however a little thing that is baffling me is that when the Wifi is switched off, and I go to Google via the preloaded app shortcut, and start typing anything, it comes up with a site that i'd rather my missus didn't see (she regularly messes with my phone, looking at pix, using the different apps etc).

Any ideas how I can resolve this?

For info the website is nothing special, not pornographic, just something i'd rather she didn't see that i'd been looking at (quite regularly).

Could it be your google account history rather than your browser history?

Most likely this.

There are options within you Google account not to sync browsing history, can't remember exactly where...or stop looking at all that porn/dating websites!

Before being able to offer any professional advice I'll need to know which site is causing the issue. If you whisper it quietly no one else will hear wink
