Address bar search

How do I get searches (my default is Google) to STOP going to the address bar? This started out of the blue and it is making me crazy. I don't want to be asked which search to use, and I don't want it to search in the address bar. I want it in the search box. Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience. The team is working on implementing a modern embedded search UI for the New Tab.

It was decided to remove the legacy code to clean up space for the new one, but that decision was canceled due to accessibility reasons. You can expect the legacy UI to (temporarily) return in the nearest future.

There used to be an option to change some code somewhere. Where is that? This is ridiculous to not be able to search in "search," and have everything go to the address bar. Why would it suddenly change? 😳
