Hi, I just checked the Chrome settings page. The option to disable’ Autocomplete searches and URLs’ has been removed (I don’t know why!). Maybe you can try clearing the browsing history and search queries.

I have the same list as your screen shot above except this one. Did “they” remove it??? I hate this URL auto-complete feature and can’t find any way to disable it.

It only stopped when I cleared items from History (had to do everything from Before the Dawn of Time for it to take) (also must restart browser of course)

I have disabled the auto complete option in Sync as you suggested and it now gives me just Bookmark results. Exactly what I have been trying to achieve all afternoon!

Only just trying Chrome again in first time for ages, and it leaves a lot to be desired. Controlling this kind of functionality is pretty fundamental in my view. So to have the option so incredibly well hidden that I couldn’t even find it is fairly pathetic.

Prior to finding your solution I had tried all sorts of things with no luck, including using various Omnibox setting changes under the “Experiments” area (chrome://flags/). None of which helped at all.

Altering a setting like this in other browsers such as Firefox was so obvious and easy it makes Chrome look pretty bad by comparison. They really need to think again.

Anyways, it’s nice you guys put time to explain.
