Can't find option to disable autocomplete in search bar

Hello,
I run Opera One 111.0.5168.25, just recently installed on a new Windows 11 computer.
Previously, on my old Windows 10 computer (and on whatever that Opera version was) I had that option where I can choose to disable the "Use a prediction service to help complete searches..".
Auto complete searches based on my past searches would also then be gone.
Sometimes I misspell the word or website or phrase I search and so I depended on this option to avoid autocompleting for me what was a mistake anyway. Was also useful to avoid autocompleting a web page like a specific video of YouTube, instead allowing me to just go to youtube.com start page.I've spent some time searching and I can't find that anyone has already posted about this option missing. If I missed that there is already a discussion on this, please do direct me.
Thank you very much in advance.

@leocg Wow! Thanks for confirming.
Very disappointing! It impedes smooth search experience to a large extent. In general use, for work or for myself, I find autocomplete unwelcome in over 90 % of searches. Have to remember to hit backspace so often.
I can't believe they would take away a logical option.
Who do I contact to lodge a complaint and get 'em to do something about this?
