I use Google Home page. Recently, some stupid "Try Searching For" drop down box opens every time I go to Search bar!! I've clicked off everything I can find in indexes. How do I get rid of this nuisance 'help'.

I don't think that this is possible via the Googles settings, so may try a content blocking extension like uBlock Origin to see if that can block these suggestions.
