Whose to say you want EVERY letter you input from your keyboard into the address bar being sent to a search engine provider? Even if you type 192.168.0.1 (your router address) until your browser figures out it's an address that translates to an actual destination (like in this case, your router, a real destination you can visit by typing in an address) the search engine provider gets everything you type. This sounds like nothing in and of itself but. "Do" could be similiar to dog, door, dongle, do not disturb etc. What you receive is how the search engine interprets what you typed and returns matches for things that are similiar, or maybe identical to, the search query. What you type is instantly sent over to the servers of whatever default search engine provider you use ie DuckDuckGo or Google for example. When you search something with search suggestions enabled you are basically getting real-time feedback back from the search engine provider. Search suggestions are considered a potential privacy threat due to the nature of how they work.
