Can I make Chrome omnibox autofill prioritize URLs before searches?


I started encountering this issue after a recent Chrome update. Omnibox autocomplete now returns previous searches before previously visited URLs. This is annoying for me as I'm used to typing in one or two characters of my most frequently visited URLs and hitting enter to access them. Is it possible to return to this configuration?

I'm having this issue as well. This fixed it for me:



  • Go to chrome://flags/#omnibox-drive-suggestions

  • Set the flag "Omnibox Google Drive Document suggestions" to disabled

It's unclear exactly why this works. It appears to be a bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=962599
