Google keeps everything your search for via typing or voice and everywhere you have been.
You can clear the history periodically and turn it on or off by going to your google account.

You have logged into your google account on your iphone.
To stop it, go to the google home page, click the account button at the top right, and log out0 -

Or, stay signed in so your bookmarks get synced, and - within settings, go to sync settings / advanced sync settings and turn off history sync.0
