I never had this problem with typing into the URL bar and it trying to do a 'search' before the update today. It now tries to 'search' (a little Google symbol appears next to what I'm writing) when I'm actually trying to type a URL and have it bring up the rest of the URL for the main page. When I go to settings, it shows to select your 'search engine'. I don't want a 'search engine' to be my URL bar, and it won't let me turn this feature off. If I want to search, I will go to www.google.com and then do my search. This new update is utter BS.

Hi,
