When I type "vid" in the Safari search bar, it immediately clears the search bar

Hello,


I was trying to type "video" in my search bar in safari. Every time I typed the first three letters "vid" the search bar would immediately clear. I can type other things fine and it works. And If i type another word before "vid" everything is fine. But I can't just type "vid"

I understand as soon as you type the letters vid in Safari's Smart Search field, it immediately disappears.


I'd start by clearing Safari's History: Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac - Apple Support.


If that doesn't help, investigate (Apple menu) > System Preferences... > Keyboard > Text for the possibility of a text substitution entry for the word "vid".


If an entry is present though, it would affect all apps.
