<![CDATA[How to disable search in address bar?]]>I have Opera Version 74.0.3911.154.
How can I disable the Google search function in the url-address field, meaning: as soon as I enter even a known url, this will lead to a Google search.

As soon as a URL is detected, that logo will turn into the globe icon that indicates that you are going to a website.
