Address bar autocomplete suggestions are appearing in ways they aren't supposed to

Description of the issue: Search bar (or address bar) autocomplete suggestions are appearing in ways they aren’t supposed to, violating the autocomplete settings while doing so. I’ve noticed that address bar autocomplete suggestions appear using the wrong string as a basis for the suggestions. If I type “yod” and there are few enough suggestible matching open tabs or recently closed tabs and searches, it adds a suggestion for Youtube and a suggestion for Youtube Music to the list of suggestions…

It’s confusing when autocomplete search suggestions are only set to bookmarks at brave://settings/appearance and yet various other suggestions are appearing.
After some more noodling, I found that the “Improve search suggestions” option at brave://settings/privacy was also adding value at me, and once I disabled that the system behaved as expected.

I’ve had the “Improve search suggestions” option toggled off for ages, yet the bugs still occurred and have persisted to this day.
