I liked search suggestion and found it helpful. But recently chrome's address bar keeps suggesting me with popular culture related items, which I am not interested at all. For example, if I just input 2 letters, google will give me several sports stars or singers' name, and make the real useful items down to the bottom. It's so annoying. I don't know those people at all and I don't have plan to know them.

I don't want to turn off all search predictions, just the popular culture ones.

@majik touch you're right, I think it removes the quick image search option.
I haven't noticed, because I use saucenao.com's "Image Search Options" Chrome extension.
This one also adds other reverse image search engines like saucenao or the anime image boards.
