      Please remove wrong automatic suggestions or add option to disable it.

      I was trying to search for a product's article number (thousands of them per month for my editing job) and I always get wrong search results as shown

      Search terms:
      "388549-01"
      "387544-02"

      Opera results:
      45f15b5c-5ff3-422c-a4fc-23af80b2234f-image.png

      .
      .
      .
      When I should be getting this right away when I hit Enter:

      I also get wrong unit conversions when I am using a search term for a recipe when my intention is simply looking for an alternative for an ingredient; not a unit conversion!

      The most inconvenient part is that the incorrect results gets copied to clipboard; replacing the product code I copied from a very long list of spreadsheet, making me search for it again from the sheet and repeat the search.

        Just switched over to Brave and all the issues I have with Opera is now solved.

        • no splash screen
        • no automatic wrong search results
        • extensions sync, finally
        • drag and drop texts across tabs
        • faster browsing
        • less cluttered interface, few icons in toolbar
        • extremely easy sync setup, no separate passphrase for sync
        • settings page is easier to navigate, huge icons

        Been using this browser for decades and I finally feel liberated leaving it. Bye.

          I had exactly the same complaint regarding the feature yet in pre One version.

          I thought they listened the feedback because later a flag appeared which allowed to turn off options you don't need.
          But now the flag disappeared and the options were not implemented.
