How do I turn off email contact suggestions?

Question

How do I turn off email contact suggestions?

OK...So when composing a new email, I start to type the name of the individual I want to email and I am given not just the contact I want, but groups that are created based off me emailing this individual and additional people in the past. Ex below.

-Contact A, Contact B, Contact C,

-Contact A, Contact D

-Contact A. <-- this is the only person I want to email, why is this not the first name to appear??

-Contact A, Contact C, Contact E (ETC).

I have on more than one occasion emailed a group of people when it was meant for a single contact. There has to be an option to turn this off...I just can't seem to find it. Suggestions?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1

Try Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > and then turn Contacts Found in Mail to OFF. Not sure that this will do it but worth a try. Some email providers, Yahoo as an example, do this automatically and it can be annoying or a good feature depending on your perspective.

I have that turned off, however I still have the issue which is:

Lets say in the past I have written one email that contains the recipients Brian, Kathy and Laura. Then, at a later date I craft a new email and start typing "Brian" but then Kathy and Laura also show up under Brian as a group contact. Its that feature I want to disable.

The email account is on an Exchange server.
