Disable auto-correct on the search field

[benjamesward]

My workflow:

-Open Passwords on macOS via the browser extension

-Highlight the search bar by clicking (because unfortunately I can't press cmd+F to highlight it, at least not in Safari)

-Type the name of the site I want to find the password for

-Become frustrated because, more often than not, macOS will auto-correct the partial site name I typed into a full English word. Then Passwords will update the search using the full English word and find zero sites. I typed the right thing, but the system incorrectly "fixed it" and broke my workflow.

-Expected behaviour: don't let the OS apply auto-correction to this search field. If I'm typing a partial search term then it shouldn't assume that I'm typing full sentences.

Hi @benjamesward, happy Tuesday! 

Can you send me a few screenshots, demonstrating what you mentioned above, please? 

Thanks a bunch!

It's this thing:

Obviously in this particular scenario the auto-complete would work just fine, but in other scenarios it auto-completes to a totally different word, and wrecks the search filter.

Thanks!
