I google "trinitite" *once* and now my browser holds that as higher priority than tumblr. And it's going to keep doing that, since my habit of getting to tumble with t+enter means that it thinks I'm ritually googling a rock before every visit to the blue hellsite.

Which reminds me, I've been meaning to go into my Chrome history and delete everything from wealthsimple.com, so that my browser will stop taunting me with investments that--upon inspection--I'm not allowed to have when actually I just wanted a weather report. *goes and does that, "wea" stops autocompleting to wealthsimple.com*

I'm not sure how that interacts with searches. If you go into your browser history (on Chrome the shortcut is ctrl-h) and filter for "trinitite", does anything come up? If so, and you delete the things that come up, does your browser autocomplete stop doing that?

I've noticed this "feature", too—I think it's new. Eventually (and by eventually, I mean maybe two weeks) it stopped putting the search term in question above the website I was actually looking for again.
