Mark,
I had no luck researching this online so perhaps Apple will even tell us how to do this. There are times we do not need autofill or autocomplete.

Hello E.T.,

Yeah, after reading Dan's message, that was the only question I had, also.  
(smile).

As for me, I will definitely suggest to Apple that this feature be restored.

I find it difficult to believe that such a basic feature would be removed.  
Some things just don't make sense, not in the slightest.

Sometimes it feels as though every time we take one step forward, in one area 
of the OS, we take two steps backwards, in another.

This is probably not a fair sentiment but, nevertheless, it seems that way to 
me, at times.

Mark

    So do you have a solution to this specific question?

Often when some feature or function disappears from os10 it is still
available to change in terminal.  This is often covered in articles
soon after a new os10 comes out and those in the  know of how the
innards of the os works because they don't like some choice apple has made.

Almost all features and functions are determined in various setup and
startup files and this is where the control of the disappeared feature
or function lies.  Knowing how to toggle on or off the content of
those files is the trick.

Instead of redoing low level code to change some feature or function
apple just changes the file controlling it.  Such things as how the
desktop appears and what is available there for the user is an example.

I would google for this function of auto-complete for the os10 in
question and see if someone addressses it.  Articles often have titles
such as "15 hidden tricks in oss10.11" or some such which contain them.

Hi,

The ability to disable Auto-Complete has been deprecated.  There used
to be an option to do this, but it no longer is available.

Thank you very much Mark for asking this question as Auto complete
drives me insane.  Like you I hate it.  I also have turned it off in
Windows.  If you can disable it in Windows then you should be able to
disable it on the Mac.  If it?s not there, those who are doing beta
testing, please request that as a feature.

Many thanks.

Kawal.

Hello Everyone,

When I begin typing in a URL in the Safari location bar (Command+L),
the auto-complete kicks in; I really don't like this feature.

How can I disable this feature?

I looked in Safari preferences but cannot seem to find the necessary
option.

Could this, perhaps, be a system-wide setting?

All replies greatly appreciated.
