While a lot of people WANT everywhere they've searched to be saved by
Google, I'm just the opposite, where I am still trying to get the Firebase
App Indexing to stop recording every single location I search for.

Since I don't have a Google Account set up on the phone, the Google
Timeline isn't a privacy hole for me - but - Google Maps *still* saves
every single search I make in Google Maps - on the phone.

Worse. Something (I don't know what!) triggers a periodic *UPLOAD* of the
Firebase App Index searches to some as-yet unknown server somehow.

I can *clear* the search database, but that only solves half the problem.
 Anyone know how to clear Google Map Search results in the Android Firebase?

If you know of any way to prevent Firebase App Indexing from storing on the
phone (and uploading to some unknown server) all searches, please advise!
