Safari: URL autocomplete problem

[omeletpants]

How do I make Safari stop autocompleting my URLs. Often it takes me to a site I dont want. For example if I type in the word apple, I may not want to go to apple.com, I may just want to just search apple.

No one has experience with this??

If you start typing 'apple' in the URL bar, the drop menu should populate with matches for search, history, and bookmarks.

If I start typing in the word Apple it will auto fill with Applebees because I have been to that site before. I dont want it to autocomplete

You can just hit 'delete' before you hit 'enter'

There should be a way to turn it off. Sometimes I just hate the way Apple forces us to do it their way when there could be a simple option

Now in 2023 i still walk around with the same question. Anyone can tell me how to turn off the autocomplete described here on safari for mac and iphone?

It drives me nuts surely by now Apple must have resolved this issue?

Thank you all!
