I recall turning off this garbage at some point. Now it's hardwired without a way to turn it off in Search settings!!

Is there anything I can do to turn it off?

On desktop you can make that setting visible via about:config.

  • about:config => browser.urlbar.showSearchTerms.featureGate => true

The checkbox controls this Boolean pref:

  • browser.urlbar.showSearchTerms.enabled

On mobile, only Nightly can show about:config.
