It seems to be tied to "Safari Suggestions", so if you have that turned off you won't see the crash.

Not for me, I actually turned that off just now, I didn't know it was "on". Maybe a hacker who resides on my iPhone fixed the bug for me?

Also, I'm on the iPhone 11 or 12 I think? So maybe model has something to do with it?

If you "hacked" a system, I would assume the first thing you'd do is patch any of your own known exploits, and others, so you don't lose ownership to some other hacker, right?

If you ever consider a career change, the parasitology field could advance from your intuitions.

I'm on 16.1.1 with Safari Suggestions turned on. No crashes here. iPhone 12 Pro.

Wild! Mine crashed the first try, turned off Safari Suggestions, crash behavior gone.

Turned it back on... still no crash. Search engine makes no difference.

Wonder if it's a cache thing and disabling Suggestions cleared that, removing whatever bad data was hanging around, or if it was a purely server-side bug and they've already fixed it.

[EDIT] Some others saying it stopped happening, so may have been fixed.
