Turn of the search tabs option

A Former User

Hello - Im often typing on the URL bar, and this goes to google & searches for me (this is what i want),

However - recently, (I do not recall when), a new "feature" has appeared where im typing & then a pop-up appears called Search Tabs.

Half of what i am typing appears in the URL bar, and the rest appears in the search tabs option. I have to close the pop-up & resume typing.

How do i turn this off ? oi dont want to waste time on this (im searching a dozen times an hour )

@gordonisnz Search in tabs has no relation to the address bar. You can use it by clicking on the magnifying glass on the top right or by using ctrl + space.

Maybe you are talking about enhanced address bar or BABE? It can be turned off in settings.

@gordonisnz If you don't type anything on the address bar and use Ctrl V to paste something into it, the same happen? And what if you just type something on it and don't use Ctrl V?

Once where there is nothing in the address bar, control-V & that popup comes. Another time i started to type, and then control-V & the pop-up
