predictive text bar not showing in Safari

This is expected behaviour. Predictive Text does not work with search bar. It never did. That’s because search bars in browsers are powered by the search suggestions coming from the search engine you set to use with the Safari app. It appears though in a web form fields such as comment sections here.

You can see it on your screenshot 2 suggestions from Google Search; that’s how it works with the search bar.

As we research, we see that what you're seeing is expected behavior. There is not predictive text in Safari in iOS 13.
