Which search engine is Safari using? Are you using Safari's Smart Search field or a search field that appears on some web page? If it is the latter, what is that web page's URL?

Refer to the following Apple Support documents if you need help answering the above questions.

Hi, I am using Google on Safari, and the grey box only appears when I am in the Safari search page and none the latter. I tried all of the links but none seem to work. If it helps, it only seems to happen when I type a word incorrectly. Also, the smart search field at the top doesn't seem to have the same problem with the box.
