Prevent "Search Google" to be selected in address bar

,
1

If I open Safari on my Mac and type foo in the address bar, it will be

foo — Search Google

This is fine, but if I need to copy this text, I press Command-A and then Command-C, and this selects the entire text in address bar, that is, including the “em dash Search Google” part.

Is there a way to prevent it, so that Command-A will select only the text I have actually typed there (that is, foo)?

I just tried it. The Google search part is highlighted, but it doesn’t actually paste the Google part, only the “foo”.

Yes you are correct. I’ll remove my post.
