Description

When typing in the address/search bar, a list of options are suggested below the address/search bar.
The second item in the suggested list is to search for exactly what I typed (using my preferred search engine).
Other autocomplete suggestions are listed in the third spot & beyond.
Until recently, the search suggestion was at the bottom of the list. Now it is always the second item. The change appears to have occurred mid-Oct 2019.

An option to search should not appear in the autocomplete suggestions at all. First, it's not an autocomplete. Second, it's easier to hit Delete (to remove any autocompleted text) and then Enter (to search) than to scroll down to the search option in the suggestion list. Third, having it in the suggestion list makes it harder to use the suggestion list because it's cluttered with a useless option which is always ahead of what I need. Thus, including it increases errors and wastes time.

Steps to Reproduce

The problem occurs whenever typing in the address/search bar near to the end of the address.

Actual result:

Expected result:

The list of suggested autocomplete options should not include the option to search for what was typed.
Or, there should be an option to not show the option to search in the list of autocomplete suggestions.

Reproduces how often:

Every time typing an address into the address/search bar.
