google widget search bar shows strange icons and doesnt do word completion

Hello, my mobile is a samsung galaxy 4 and i use the google widget bar. Suddenly for a few weeks, when using the google bar for search, it doesn't show previous searches and doesn't do word completion. Instead it shows strange icons and only when clicking on those icons, the previous searches are shown. It might have been something that i did accidently with the settings. When using google through the regular browser, the google works normally.

Going to Settings, Storage, Cached Data, and clearing the cache, may help.
Also, a Cache Partition wipe may be beneficial.
