I can confirm the "s k e t c h return" -> skechers behavior.
"s k e t c h SPACE return" got me the google search results.
- rubyfan 6y agodoesn’t do it for me. one difference is my default search engine is duck duck go.
- chadlavi 6y agoAha! Same here, it looks like maybe DDG vs Google is the real difference here?
- evolve2k 6y agoSo the hypotheses is, it’s doing a web search and google is doing an auto “I’m feeling lucky” redirect.
- codetrotter 6y agoiPhone X here, running iOS 13.5.1. I have Google set as my search engine in Safari. When I type sketch and press return I am taken to the Google Search results. Notably, however, I have “Search Engine Suggestions” turned off in my Safari settings, and I also have “Safari Suggestions” turned off in my Safari settings. I’ve turned them off a while back because they were more of a nuisance than a help. Maybe you and others turned those things off at some point too?
- mrcarrot 6y agoI have "Search Engine Suggestions" and "Safari Suggestions" both enabled, Google as "Search Engine" and I see the same behaviour as you (typing "sketch" RETURN in safari address bar takes me to the Google search results).
- AgentOrange1234 6y agoI can reproduce on an ipad, with ddg as the search engine. Neat.
- tonyarkles 6y agoI have a completely stock iOS setup (Google search) and have had this happen occasionally. I thought I was going crazy. Glad to see this isn’t just me.
- chadlavi 6y agoWhat do you get if you switch your search engine to DDG?
- bscphil 6y agoI use DDG and I see the same behavior: sketch<enter> --> skechers.com sketch <enter> --> search for sketch on DDG So this is presumably not DDG specific behavior. Safari on latest Catalina macOS.

- lancewiggs 6y agoDDG and I get the second response for both cases.
- tingletech 6y agoI get https://sketchfab.com https://sketchfab.com
- om2 6y agoFolks who can reproduce the "sketch" --> "sketchers.com" behavior or the "realty.com" --> "realtor.com" behavior, would any of you be willing to file the issue via Feedback Assistant (only needs a free developer.apple.com account) with a sysdiagnose and a screen recording? Then give me the FB number. I can get the Safari team to look at this, but I can't reproduce either behavior myself. Any other examples of bogus/unexpected autocomplete also welcome.
- tidwall 6y agoI only use Safari and I’ve actually been on realtor.com a ton the past few days. I just punched in realty.com and it directed me to realtor.com. If I do http://realty.com http://realty.com it takes me to the correct site.
- om2 6y agoInteresting! Maybe it takes a lot of visits to realtor.com to get in this state.
- baddox 6y agoWhen I search in iPhone Safari for “sketch” I get a dictionary definition for the word as the top suggested result. Pressing “go” does a Google search for “sketch”.
- nhf 6y agoDone: FB7793463. It sounds like you work at Apple? The screen recording is attached to the report.
- om2 6y agoThank you! I do work at Apple, on WebKit mostly but I'm in touch with a lot of Safari folks too.
- wtvanhest 6y agoI don’t have a developer’s account, but I’m new to iPhone in the last 4 months and my phone also goes from realty.com to realtor.com. Not sure if a lack of history is for some reason causing it, or the presence of history is preventing it
