Turn off "Include search engine suggestions" in the search pane of the Safari preferences.
You’ll still get autocomplete from your own history (requiring you to press backspace before return to get a web search), but at least it won’t arbitrarily send you to sites you have never visited before.
- saagarjha 6y agoBut I want search engine suggestions…as long as they are just suggestions. They shouldn't forcefully redirect me to somewhere I don't want to go. (I should also note that the thing I actually wanted to do is search, not go to something from my history!)
- balladeer 6y agoIt only disables search engine suggestions that's half the problem solved. Now, let's say I have a bookmark for "abcd.com" and I have visited "abcd.com" a million times. So the moment I am done typing "ab" in address bar I get abcd.com suggestion which is good. Now one day I visit (or mistype and hit enter) "ab"ihkskgskkfsbkgbskgbks.com. Yes, just once. Now, for days I get the suggestion "abihkskgskkfsbkgbskgbks.com" when I type "ab" even though every time I type few more letters or delete and change it "abcd.com" before hitting enter. Or maybe for weeks because I just end up going to history and delete that abihkskgskkfsbkgbskgbks.com so that it would never show up in suggestions.
