Turn off suggestions in iPhone spotlight search bar

I use the search bar to look for apps only and for whatever reason, when I type a letter, I get safari suggestions, even though this option is turned off. Is there no way to fully disable this?



iPhone XR, iOS 15

I'm afraid there is not, no. It's so you can quickly do an internet search from the screen without switching to Safari.
