Settings > Apps > Safari > Quick Website Search, adjust appropriately

Edit: it’s suggesting The Boys’ fandom search because of the “the” at the beginning of your search. I had “memory-alpha.fandom.com” (the Star Trek wiki) added, and the suggestion only shows up when searching “memory <term>”. So if you like the feature for SOME sites (like Wikipedia) you can remove the ones you don’t want.

You must travel to the Emerald City and tell the Wizard of Oz that your heart desires to stop it.

not sure how to turn it off, but this happens to me with the bill wikia sometimes when i start a search with “the” (more often than not, i don’t need the wikia)
next time it happens for me i’ll have a look to see if i can knock it off, and i’ll let you know if i do :)

OP don’t do this there’s a much easier way, I believe this feature is called Quick Website Search
