How to Turn Off Safari Suggestions on Mac
The Safari browser for Mac offers a feature called “Safari Suggestions” which detects what you’re typing into the URL bar / search box and, much like the name implies, offers suggestions based on what you typed. For example, if you type “AAPL” into the Safari Search box, you’ll see the stock price for that ticker symbol as it appears directly under the Safari address bar, or if you type “Carl Sagan” you’ll see a short blurb and a link to Wikipedia appear under the Safari URL bar.
Many Mac users undoubtedly like Safari Suggestions since it can offer a shortcut for searching and finding specific information, but some users may not appreciate the feature and would rather disable it.
