It’s google right now, I changed it and it still brings the website up I’ve done just about everything I can think of

The Messages app, for example, caches addresses you've used and predicts them when you start typing in the "To" field. It's my understanding that the app itself has a cache for this, one that is not user-accessible. I wonder if this is a similar situation.


In the case of Messages, you just have to wait until it gets overridden with new data.
