      Search result suggestions are interfering with my search.

      My query:

      ".5 oz kojic acid dipalmitate (better choice )
      .5 oz stearic acid (optional)
      .5oz glycerin
      5 drops tea tree oil
      5 drops sweet orange oil
      10 drops fragrance oil your choice
      1tsp sodium lactate (optional)"

      Objective of query:
      Find matching recipe through Google Search.

      Opera output: "14.17g"
      Behavior: Copies output to clipboard

      bf91a0e9-4f7d-47be-880a-07f5ddbc37fb-image.png

      Output: Wrong. Waste of time.
      The same with currency conversions which are out of date.

              @leocg - I can't find where. I simply use my phone with Google assistant for quick searches and conversions for now.

                Goto the URL opera://flags/#address-bar-categories-customization, enable the flag, restart Opera, start typing in the address field and click the gear icon in the address field drop-down to disable the categories you don't want.

                    Opera shows mid-market rates. PayPal does transactions, with a buy/sell rate.

                    The two will never be the same. PayPal also has fees.

                      The new update has added this option. Thanks for the immediate addition of useful features.

                        Where did you find that check list and settings icon?

                          I think Opera enables this automatically for random users. I've always had to enable the flag myself though.

                            I enabled the flag as recommended in the previous answers. It worked. After updating to the newest version (101.0.4843.25), the settings icon appeared.

                            Several months prior to posting this topic, I have been sending multiple suggestions to Dev team through this tiny feature, telling them to make search suggestions optional:

                            But the search option settings were added several hours after I posted this topic.
