Dusseldorf prosecutors said a tablet computer had been recovered from Lubitz's apartment and they were able to reconstruct searches from 16 March to 23 March.
The prosecutors' spokesman Ralf Herrenbrueck said that search terms included medical treatment, suicide methods, and cockpit doors and their security, according to the Associated Press.
Lubitz also told doctors he was off sick from work when he was still flying aircrafts and was taking medication so strong that patients are not advised to drive cars, according to German media.
Medical records quoted by Bild say he was taking medication to treat depression and anxiety which allegedly included an antidepressant and the tranquilliser Lorazepam.
Bild also quoted documents it said were made available to investigators that revealed Lubitz said he was in a car crash at the end of 2014 and had complained of trauma and vision problems as a result.
"He stated during medical treatment that, among other things, it often appeared dark around him," according to a translation obtained by The Telegraph. An MRI scan reportedly did not discover any significant injuries.
Investigators retrieved the second black box, the flight data recorder, from the crash site today which may provide further clues as to exactly what happened before the plane began its descent.
