Prediction Service for URLs in the Address Bar

Heyo,

I can not figure out how to get rid of the automatic fill in of URLs I type into the adress bar.
I did find the option in the settings which is called "Use a prediction service to help..." (see imgur link for my settings) and turned it off, but nothing has changed. I basically want Opera to not give me any suggestions which URL I may want to visit. Is it possibly to achieve that in the settings?

(Hopefully I made it clear what my point is, english is not my native language :))

My settings: https://imgur.com/3w83yeh
OS: Win 7 (all important updates are installed)
Opera: 34.0.2036.47
AddOns: AdGuard, Ghostery (turning them off, does not change anything by the way)

Best regards,
NMS

Afaik you can't disable the autocomplete feature. That setting is more for disabling search suggestions.

?????

Autocomplete, as the name says, automatically completes the url you are typing. So, if you start typing "op" it will complete with "opera.com" for example.

A search suggestion is just a suggestion of a keyword for you to search based on what you are typing. So if you type "op" it may suggest you to search for "opera", "operator" and so on.

More to the point ... autocomplete is based on your history - not a service.
