[Easy Steps] Disable Autocomplete On Google Chrome Search

Google Chrome is without a doubt the world's most popular desktop and laptop browser. Its several great characteristics, such as speed and security, have elevated it above other browsers. One feature is the autocomplete, which anticipates what you will put in the search field. While this can save you time, there are situations when you'll want to disable it. In this episode of our troubleshooting series, we'll teach you how to turn off Chrome's search bar autocomplete.
Chrome's autocomplete function guesses what you want to put in the search field, saving you from having to type the entire phrase or sentence. Most of the time, it gets it correctly, but sometimes you're looking for something else and it returns a different answer. To avoid this, just disable this function by following the procedures outlined in this video.

APRIL 2023 - NOTICE TO EVERYONE CURRENTLY USING GOOGLE : Google has eliminated "Autocomplete Searches and URLs" toggle switch. There is no longer any known procedure that will turn off this annoying feature. People who control monopolies often find such things an amusing and enjoyable pastime. I'm sorry and I feel your pain.

Cant believe we have to search up videos now a days to turn off simple features. They really over complicated so much shit. Search bar function doesnt help either, i searched up the exact option and it wasn't listed.

Thank you. It helped me. But I wish you spoke slower so I could do it in real time.

I found a solution. Pin this comment so others can find this too.

Go to chrome settings -> Privacy and Security -> Clear browsing data -> Advanced tab -> Time range -> All time -> Select Autofill form data -> Clear data

THERE IS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION: Type in the letters till you get the autocomplete and there should be an "X" beside the website. If you click that it will temporarily delete that website from you autocomplete options.

The Cell Guide: I'm thinking you should remove this tutorial, as it is no longer relevant.

Just use chrome incognito, otherwise this setting does not exist anymore and cant be avoided.

ATTENTION EVERYONE! this is so stupid :( i have made a shortcut for "youtube" to where if i just type 'y' into the search engine it will autofill for me. HOWEVER! the autocomplete FUCKS THIS UP by recommending me RANDOM YOUTUBE VIDEOS that i have watched previously and/or have already open in the autofill! i really want this fixed cuz if you made a shortcut for something IT SHOULDNT DO THE AUTOCOMPLETE! if this doesnt get fixed we were rioting!
