Can someone contribute more than "lol, me too!" and figure out which API endpoint it's hitting, what it's returning and guess why it's crashing? I don't have an iOS device otherwise I'd do it...

#12No it doesn’t. Better repro steps needed. Edit: best guess so far: something regional or language dependent? Looks like US-specific search suggestions? My non-crashing circumstances: (iPhone11, iOS 15.6.1, Swedish language, in Sweden)
are you trolling? type it into the search bar and it does crash
It’s not enough to do that. There is something more specific required: a specific version of iOS, a specific language, a particular phone, some setting, something in the search/url history etc.
But it clearly doesn’t reproduce across all devices/versions/settings with iOS Safari. Better repro steps needed.

Doesn’t happen for me

#15“Best “ does it for me. 16.1.1
Turning off “Safari Suggestions” in settings fixes it.

#16None of the strings crashed my safari, I'm on whatever the newest version of iOS is, just updated it yesterday.
edit: Also, I'm on the iPhone 11 or 12 I think? So maybe model has something to do with it?

#19in my phone nothing happens with "old ", but reproduced with okd doesn't crash in private mode
My guess is that it depends on your browser history (and maybe other factors that influence what autocorrect or autocomplete wants to propose).

They're not trolling. I typed it into the search bar. Safari didn't crash.
Is the person who wrote the tweet trolling? Probably not either.
But what type of iOS device do they have? Which version of iOS are they running? Which language and locale?
Those things matter. Other things that apparently shouldn't matter might matter as well: other apps installed or running, notification configuration, how many tabs they have open, whether they're connected via WiFi or 4G, etc.
We don't know any of that stuff. As GP said: better reproduction steps needed.
As it is this bug report is barely above the kind of "hurr durr it dern't work" support ticket that really pisses off everyone in my team, and indeed every support engineer, and software engineer I've ever worked with.
