   Preferences -> Browser -> Location Bar   
   I permit "Automatically suggest web sites from History" (although not   
   the "Match only web sites you've typed previously" for some reason)   
      
   Preferences -> Advanced -> Find As You Type   
   I have that deactivated.   
      
   What I absolutely do not want is for my browser to issue a query to   
   DuckDuckGo after every character I type into the location bar, I don't   
   mind it showing me URLs I've already visited because that works with my   
   browsing history and not an external search engine.
