Hi, According to my research, this Terminal command is supposed to accomplish what you're wishing for: defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFancyURLCompletionList -bool NO The problem is, it doesn't appear to stop the Auto Complete action. Using Terminal to read the Safari

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

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

When choices appear and disappear with no user control, this kind of thing is what I call a nanny os. It means the os developer decides how the user is to encounter applications. This is a product of the graphical user interface. The most obvious form of it is determining for the user the

I have been looking at this since Mark posted the question. My research points to Safari > Preferences > Autofill. On that tab there are 3-4 checkboxes, the last one called Other Forms. This SHOULD take care of the location bar. But even with uncheckng it and clearing all history,

Even worse, I have a bookmark to a site I manage that as of v10.11.5 now will not work because Safari erroneously autocompletes the bookmark of all things so that it goes to another page on the site that happens to start with the same first characters. I have tried to purge the offending url

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
