      When I start typing into the search box, Opera will give me suggestions to popular websites. It seems to be mostly for shops. For example, "ama," "for," and "bed" will automatically suggest "amazon.com," "forever21.com," and "bedbathandbeyond.com." These links are not in my history or in my bookmarks.

      Is there a way to turn this feature off?

      Separately -- I know the issue with Opera suggesting items from your history was also a thing, in which the issue was that this feature couldn't be turned off either. Has there been a fix to this as well or is this still an always on feature?

        @sskakam Go to the Privacy and Security section in settings page and turn off the option to enhance search suggestions.

          @leocg Improve search suggestion is already off. I searched for the "suggestion" key word in the settings and turned off everything I could find.

          Is this a bug then?
