I don't think those options are related to search suggestions.
The first one is.

still there is Google's Omnibox Search Suggesttion!
Are you sure? Can you post a screenshot?

This is not a "suggestion", this is the text you wrote.

When you type something which isn't an URL it'll search for the string in the default search engine. What you see is a 1:1 copy of what you wrote, probably so you know that it's actionable and will trigger the search engine when you press Enter. There's no way to disable the use of the default search engine by that field AFAIK.

Thanks rafaelluik!

But this is exactly what to do to disable this 'feature' in CHROME.

http://superuser.com/questions/394562/can-i-turn-off-google-chromes-new-prerendering

[ In Opera://flags there i no select box 'Prerender from omnibox' ].

If you search for 'chrome disable omnibox' youv'e got 102.000 results.

So why Opera doesn't Opera offer disabeling this annoying predictions.

This sounds curious to me!!!

"Prerender from Omnibox" is something completely different than what I described.
And yes you can disable it, it's the option called "Predict network actions to improve page load performance".

Prerender means to render (load and create) the page before you actually select it.

Thank you rafaeluik and sgunhouse! You are right.

I mentioned it, because of it's mostly noted when people complaining about OMNIBOX.

But why - like rafaeluik noted above: There's no way to disable the use of the default search engine by that field AFAIK - is there still the option: USE A PREDICTION SERVICE TO HELP COMPLETE SEARCHES AND URL'S TYPED IN THE SEARCH BAR.

AFAIK this ist the switch to turn this OMNIBOX feature on and of!

Have a nice day & thanks again

You'rre not using suggestions though. If you type "oper" in the address bar, does it suggest "opera"? In that photo earlier, the dropdown is only telling you that search from address bar is also available. If suggestions were on, you'd see several more options in the dropdown ...

Hi sgunhouse,

you call it like you want [ dont't want to be rude, thank you very much for your reply! ].

CHROME calls this behavior/feature OMNIBOX.

And I just want get rid of it.

Those aren't search suggestions - the icon (a clock face) indicates those are from your history.
