Description

Hi,
I use vomnibar and use certain custom search engines as mentioned in the documentation. However, I do not like being spoonfed with autocomplete suggestions every time I want to make a specific query. Can an option be added to disable autocomplete suggestions? (I couldn't find any in the documentation) Thanks for the project!

Research direction

Start by locating the vomnibar implementation and its custom search-engine handling, then check the documentation for existing configuration options. Add a user-facing option that prevents autocomplete suggestions, and update the documentation so the option and its effect are clear.
