How to disable autocompletion in address bar?

Brave 1.70.126, Chromium 129.0.6668.100
Android 14; Build/U1TBS34.54-24-1-11-4-10

Whenever I enter something on the address bar, it always autocompletes to a history of the current session if it exist (my browser is set to clear data on exit). For instance, if I open “community.brave.com” and browse naturally. The next time I enter “community.brave.com” it will autocomplete to something like “https://community.brave.com/xxxxx/xxxxx

What I wish for is to never autocomplete my address bar inputs, no matter if I’m still in the same session, i.e., I haven’t exited the browser to automatically clear data.

This thread Search history retained in address bar - Browser Support / Mobile Support - Brave Community was initially helpful, but I’m unable to find these toggles below.

The only thing I can find after a lengthy search is “Show browser suggestions” which is already turned off.

Not sure if this will help, but may be worth some review . . .

I don’t see any toggle for autocomplete anywhere under Appearance in mobile. But thanks for sharing that thread. I think OP is experiencing the same thing I am, but the suggested fix like disabling “Show autocomplete suggestions in address bar” doesn’t exist anywhere in mobile setting and I searched everywhere in Appearance/Privacy and shields.

@jimmysolmia for whatever reason, it exists under Search Engines. So go to SettingsSearch Engines and you’ll see it.

It doesn’t work since I don’t have that option for some reason. My Brave is up to date.

Can it be due to Motorola build. My toggles are very different.
