Often when some feature or function disappears from os10 it is still available to change in terminal. This is often covered in articles soon after a new os10 comes out and those in the know of how the innards of the os works because they don't like some choice apple has made.

Almost all features and functions are determined in various setup and startup files and this is where the control of the disappeared feature or function lies. Knowing how to toggle on or off the content of those files is the trick.

Instead of redoing low level code to change some feature or function apple just changes the file controlling it. Such things as how the desktop appears and what is available there for the user is an example.

I would google for this function of auto-complete for the os10 in question and see if someone addressses it. Articles often have titles such as "15 hidden tricks in oss10.11" or some such which contain them.

Hi,

The ability to disable Auto-Complete has been deprecated.  There used to be an 
option to do this, but it no longer is available.

Later...

Thank you very much Mark for asking this question as Auto complete drives me 
insane.  Like you I hate it.  I also have turned it off in Windows.  If you can 
disable it in Windows then you should be able to disable it on the Mac.  If 
it?s not there, those who are doing beta testing, please request that as a 
feature.

Many thanks.

Kawal.

Hello Everyone,

When I begin typing in a URL in the Safari location bar (Command+L), the
auto-complete kicks in; I really don't like this feature.

How can I disable this feature?

I looked in Safari preferences but cannot seem to find the necessary option.

Could this, perhaps, be a system-wide setting?

All replies greatly appreciated.
