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.
In settings -> search there is a table called “Search Shortcuts” and you can uncheck all of the options to remove the icons.

Thank you, removing all the checks in the most left column did the trick.
Somewhat unrelated to the post: if you ever need to censor something use a black bar, not pixelation.
It’s somewhat possible to make out a few of your searches, for example, the third one clearly reads “_Switching from Chrome to Firefox”.You’re definitely right, thank you. In this case I didn’t need to really censor because there is no sensitive data, so I just used the feature from greenshot. Otherwise I would’ve used black bars.
What are those buttons at the top?
They are the old fashioned menu. So “file”, “edit” etc.
You can get it by pressing Alt. I’m not sure why there are icons in the menu though.
Yeah
They don’t matter to the question, but what are they
Open settings, go to search from the left hand menu, scroll down to the list of search shortcuts and either permanently remove the ones you don’t want, or just click the checkbox next to it and it won’t show up in the address bar.
Also that level of pixelization is easily reversed, better to just black out the parts you don’t want visible.
Thank you, removing all the checks in the most left column did the trick!
@fraencko Go to Settings > Search and untick Provide search suggestions
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. :)
