Reported by manuvarg...@gmail.com, Jun 5 2018

Issue description

my google chrome and uc browser is the latest update from playstore....the bug is that....im experiencing it since the past month...whatever i search in UC BROWSER in "INCOGNITO MODE" can be seen as search history in google chrome...but the search is completely hidden in UC BROWSER...whenever i type the first letter of that incognito search which i done in UC BROWSER in google chrome, the drop down menu shows the complete sentence/words...

Can you provide a screenshot of a) where you make the search, and b) where you see the history?
first image is searched "cristiano ronaldo bicycle goal" in
UC Browser in INCOGNITO MODE, just in the search area.
               Second image is google chrome, only typed 'c' and u can see
the suggesion. but this search history can't be seen either in uc browser
or in chrome ''history'' section.
                Hope you got the required informations.

Hi,

Could you please check the following two as well:

1- On the UC browser in incognito mode, when you are in the search page check if you are signed in to your Google account (you can go to the bottom of the page and see if your account email is there).

2- On another device, try Google search and see if you can see the term that you have searched in UC browser.

Thanks
i havn't logged in, in UC browser....just installed a new app, as such
I cannot reproduce the error. I did the following:

1- Installed UC Browser.
2- Went to google.com.
3- Searched for a term that I had not searched before.
4- Went to Chrome
5- Went to google.com (signed in to my account).
6- Tried the first letters of the search term.
7- Google did not complete the search term or suggest it.

Do you have any suggestions? Did you try another device?
please watch the screen record attached
I think you have not attached it. Could you please do it again?

Thank you. Could you please send another video with the following considerations:

1- Search for a very unique term, like 'Sinbad and Seven Samurai'.
2- After searching for the term in UC Browser (27s into the current video), please navigate to the bottom of the search page.
3- Do the rest exactly the same as current video.


P.S. Removing the 'incognito' label as it's UC Browser's incognito issue and not Chrome's.
i uninstalled uc browser and installed again..also uninstalled google
chrome (only the update).also updated again....now the problem is
solved.....but idk what happend before as the both were same versions from
playstore...
Status: Fixed (was: Untriaged)
The only explanation that I can think of is that UC-Browser was using your signed in Google state when you searched. Because there is no connection between UC-Browser and Chrome to leak your search, and Google remembers your search only if you would be signed in and sync would be active.
So I will close the bug, please open it again if you could reproduce it.
okayy....but in chrome that search list was not able to delete ath that
time, and im sure that i hadnt logged in in chrome.....i will inform if
this happens again..
