The little search box to the upper right, does it show actual inputted searches?

For example, I type the letter 's' on that search box and it displays a few search's starting with the letter S.

Was those few shown ... Ate they actual inquiries inputted or ate the random suggestions?

hello, it depends - if the search provider that is used is supporting it then those common suggestions will be pulled from the server & do not reflect your search history (those will be labled as "suggestions" explicitly).
