Please Provide Option to Disable "Ask Copilot" in Address Bar

Question

I use Kagi as my default search engine. Recently, I've noticed that if the search string reaches a certain length, the default search option changes from Kagi to "Ask Copilot." See the image below.

This is driving me insane! I don't necessarily mind the "Ask Copilot" feature but having it automatically selected when the search string reaches a certain length is unbearable. Please, at least provide an option to turn this behavior off. This is so annoying that I have had to stop searching from the address bar and navigate to the Kagi website for each search.

Thanks Andy! I have noticed that it has stopped defaulting to Copilot when the search string reaches a certain length (see image below). It still shows Copilot as an option, which is fine, but it does not commandeer the search.

Good to know there's an option to disable. It is kind of annoying TBH. Almost forced me to use another browser as the omnibox search is such a highly used function.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Thanks! That did the trick. Please allow a way to disable this in settings and not via flags Edge team!&nbsp;
