Possible solution to address bar problem: disable Safari Suggestions

Thanks Chainzz for your prompt response. That'll do me. It still gives me the dropdown suggestions. Appreciated.🙂

I had precisely the same problem. Not only that, I couldn't even click "Reply" in Safari to respond to you. I had to switch to Google Chrome.

This must be a coincidence since a report just came out saying that Safari was the best browser on the Mac. Right after that report, a new version comes out and forces everyone to use Chrome in order to browse the web.

Sheesh

Thanks Andrew, seems ok without the Safari suggestions. A bit reluctant to load Google. When I did a search for this nothing came up. Hope Apple are dealing.

Much appreciated

Two more comments:

1 As I said, the solution worked for me but I found I was later able to re check the "include safari suggestions" box and the problem didn't reappear!

2 I see some safari users felt they had to switch to explorer or other browsers to search for Chainzz's solution. I found I was able to search by logging out of my profile and logging back in as a Guest User. Safari search worked fine for me there. Weird. I am using a Macbook pro and OSX El Capitan

Agreed BOBESOX. Once I cleared out the Suggest settings, the display was cleared up as well.

I have Chrome already loaded (I do Development so need everything available) - but is annoying when a new update comes out with this problem and this is the default setting for Safari. So who the heck was testing this?

Maybe I need to get onto the Dev betas because that shouldn't happen with a release.

Yes - Patrick, I know it does fix it - but the point is that this is such an obvious test, it shouldn't have occurred. (and believe me, I've made my share of "obvious bugs" )

Thanks chainzz. It worked for me. Very grateful.

It worked for me. Thanks

I can't even express how thankful I am for this tip. This bug was driving me crazy.

Thank you, sir!
