[Feature Request]: Disable search suggestions

Preflight Checklist

  • [X] I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
  • [X] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Search suggestions essentially turn a search box into a keylogger. Everything the user types in is immediately sent to Google. Some users (including me) are not happy with this behavior, so I think there should be an option to disable it. I believe that a search query should only be submitted when the user explicitly intends to execute the search function by pressing 'Enter' or clicking on the search icon.

Proposed Solution

Add a plugin that disables search suggestions

YouTube uses a custom event handling system, so I don't know if it's possible to do this
