turn off safari suggestions in ios 11

In Safari for iOS 11, I sometimes get suggested search items that appear right above the keyboard when I try to type in the address bar. How can I turn this off?


Thanks!

Oh boy, that is disturbing. I’ve got some pretty odd suggestions too but nothing that bad. I want it turned off. I don’t like the privacy implications here because it seems the page contents are being analyzed somehow and suggestions are being sent back to the keyboard to show suggestions. Have we consented to Safari sending back info to Apple on our browsing habits? Has anyone tried this in private mode? If this send info back in private mode, it is a real abuse of privacy.
