Make the addressbar act like Google

Hello,

When I search for something on the addressbar such as The Guardian, I want to go to the top result. However, when I press the down arrow on the button, instead of going to the top result, it goes to some random link from my history.

I hope this video shows what the problem is: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqX7HeG1gYqzhT3DkiIpG_3kaBU4

Before you say the link which appears on the addressbar is the same as the top result, this isn't the case for the vast majority of searches I do.


How can I change this behaviour?

Thank you.

I don't know if this is a new post or it suddenly zoomed to the top of the list, but I'll link to the previous discussion in case it's already covered:

Yes, I'm the one who asked that question and you are the one who solved it.

The problem this time is that whenever 'When I search for something on the addressbar such as The Guardian, I want to go to the top result. However, when I press the down arrow on the button, instead of going to the top result, it goes to some random link from my history. '

The video shows this problem more clearer.
