I want to get rid of them because I want to press ↑ on my keyboard to quickly get to the last item on the result list, but don’t want to have to cycle through the search icons.
None of the solutions I found online worked, so I thought I might give it a try here.
Thanks for your suggestion, but I still wanted to have search suggestions, but I went to search settings → Search shortcuts and removed all the checks in the most left columns. That did the trick. :)
