This is true in the standard browsing session but more concerning is that search strings used during InPrivate browsing are also coming through as top search suggestions is the standard session.

So private is really 100% private. 😒

Can you share some examples? Is there any reason to believe that the top search suggestions in questions are not, in fact, the top search suggestions *for everyone*?

Eric_Lawrence After some further experience especially with Edge for Android I'm starting to think the problem may actually be associated with the keyboard being used. The in-private mode on Edge for Android does not seem to clear out the keyboard data and as a result the words used during an in-private session appear on the keyboard as top suggested words to start your next typing session. Very obvious with SwiftKey keyboard.

I did seem to experience similar behaviour on my desktop browser but not to the same extent.
