Web link that won't go away?? 5th Gen/IOS 16.7.7

[Kenworth]

Hello all,
I have an issue with a web site address that won't go away.
It appeared directly under the Google URL bar after I visited Arkansas Senator John Boozman's web site as I looked up military reserve information.
It says "Reserve Co...he Boozman". Very small letters but annoying.
Any "deleting" info much appreciated.
Thanks!! Ken

Have you tried tapping the three dots (top right) and clearing browsing history?

I clear the browsing history regularly but don't see three dots in the upper right. Only a box of 9....Ken

In Settings there is an option to turn off Search Hint. Maybe turning this off would fix the problem.

No idea where "search hint" is? Not in Safari. Put it in the search field at the top of "settings" and nothing.

In the Google App settings itself, which it appears you are using.

Looks like you have the Favorites Bar turned on in Settings > Safari. You can either turn it off, or go into your your Bookmarks and delete the saved bookmark in Favorites.

Favorites are int he Favorites folder by default, but can be set to a different folder in settings.

Personally I like the Favorites Bar and use it extensively. You can even save folders in the bar, giving you a pull-down menu of shortcuts.
