Hi gETo, the checkboxes on Firefox's Options/Preferences page control what happens in Firefox's address bar, but they don't have any effect on search bars inside web pages. Google used to have a way to suppress unwanted suggestions, but I don't think they offer that any more and you would need to find an add-on to manage it.
