Google Chrome autocompleting search results above urls

After updating Chrome, I've noticed that when I enter the first letter of a commonly visited site like 't' for twitter, it no longer autocompletes to the twitter url, instead it is autocompleting a random google search result I've searched for once.

So even if I've visited a page thousands of times, it's still putting the google page as the first suggestion. It's not suggesting new search results, but terms i've previously searched for. But surely a URL I visit daily should rank above a google result I've only accessed once.

Is there any way I can fix this? I know how to manually delete individual autocomplete suggestions, but I don't want to have to keep doing this.


It's a bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=962599

Work-around:

  • Go to: chrome://flags/
  • Search for Omnibox Google Drive Document suggestions
  • Disable Omnibox Google Drive Document suggestions
  • Relaunch chrome
