@Mattches wanted to tag in as seems to be related to Address bar search Bug where you had a Github open. I don’t see any movement on the issue since you created it. Not sure if may want to ping anyone or what you may suggest?

### Description
Strange issue in the address bar when performing a search (note… that this can be done with any search engine). For this bug to occur, the `Show autocomplete suggestions in address bar` in `Settings --> Appearance` must be disabled. Essentially, if you type something into the address bar, go to a different tab, then return to the address bar and either finish typing or change what is in the address bar, when you hit `Enter` it will search for what was previously in the address bar before you changed the entry. Note that this issue occurs regardless of which default search engine you have selected.

### Steps to reproduce
1. Ensure `Show autocomplete suggestions in address bar` is disabled in `Brave://settings`
2. Open two tabs
3. Type Google (or anything) into the address bar, then select the other tab
4. Return to the first tab and type in another search term (in the video I typed `Brave`)
5. Hit `Enter`
### Actual result
Browser will search for the first term that was typed into the address bar, even after it's been deleted/replaced/changed
### Expected result
Browser should search the last term entered.
