How to disable location searches in URL to Weather, Booking, and Maps websites?

Windows 10, Opera One (version: 105.0.4970.21 - it has happened for many versions now)

When I start to type in text that has a possible match to a location, such as "collect" matching to "Collector, Australia" there are three additional links at the bottom of the URL history/suggestions: weather, maps and booking. How do I turn off these location suggestions?

I often have my mouse in the same place (probably by design, since it's the middle of the page) and if I hit "Enter" while hovering when I'm trying to use the top result, it goes through on the highlighted result instead. Yes, I can get used to moving my mouse away, but I don't want these results showing up in the URL anyway. I have tried to turn off as many suggestions as possible in my browser.

This happens in incognito, regardless of extensions. It's an Opera function that I can't disable.

I have disabled all of the following:

"Improve search suggestions"
"Display promotional notifications"
"Receive promotional Speed Dials, bookmarks and campaigns"
All AI services
"Show suggestions before typing"
"Show Speed Dial suggestions"
"Show news on start page"
"Show Continue Shopping section"
"Show Continue on Booking[.]com section"
"Show weather widget"
"Show Start page button"

Weather, Booking, and Maps do not appear in any of my search engines
