Hi Leroy,
Applications is unchecked there. I also put the application folder under the privacy tab tp prevent Spotlight from searching applications. I heard it is a Big Sur problem. Any other ideas?
You can select a different default browser besides Safari and see if the macOS will respect....

How is this an issue...(?) It is searching the web—You do not have to use the suggestion presented
Use the down arrow or mouse to move down the list...
Duh!!!
It's been a lifelong habit to type my search and hit enter to see all of my results.
I get frustrated when my workflows are disrupted by being redirected somewhere I don't want to go.
OK, I'm done whining.
Thank You, Leroy.
