Google Suggest is a cool feature which offers similar to the one you are typing. It works as follows,

If you’re signed in to your Google Account and have Web History enabled, suggestions are drawn from searches you’ve done, searches done by users all over the world, sites in our search index, and ads in our advertising network. If you’re not signed in to your Google Account, no history-based suggestions are displayed.

But some times it displays some irrelevant topics and put you in embarrassing situation. Checkout this blog, googlelolz.com, for more  such weird suggestions

Here is the tip to turn off Google Suggestions permanently.

1. Visit Google Preferences page.
2. In the Query suggestions section, select Do not provide query suggestions
