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...

It’s their own “Safari suggestions” service. I don’t know if that’s device local or some Apple API which changed but disabling it prevents the crashes.

#23just got beta 2 installed and it did infact crash in safari
For me too, also with current public beta.

#24“Best “ does it for me. 16.1.1 Turning off “Safari Suggestions” in settings fixes it.
Funny, with Google you typically want to add "-best" to your searches to cut down on SEO spam.

#25None 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?
It seems to be tied to "Safari Suggestions", so if you have that turned off you won't see the crash.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
In a blank address bar, not just anywhere. Crashed mine, sure enough, first try. I'm on 16.1 (haven't updated to 16.1.1 yet).
This is the important point I think. Version of Safari is tied to version of OS.
I don't think 16.1.1 is unaffected. I'm on iOS 16.1.1 and can reproduce it. Blank address bar -> "old " -> crash. The second time I didn't need the space, as others have also reported.

#27In my case I don't even need to type the space - the moment I press "d" it crashes.
Re: Typing “old” (space) into iOS Safari crashes the app
#28Haven't updated to 16.1.1 and no issues.

I can only get to bes before it crashes, turning off safari suggestions fixed it. I think it’s maps/shopping related, old navy and Best Buy were the suggestions.
Re: Typing “old” (space) into iOS Safari crashes the app
#30No 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)
People are suggesting that it seems to come from Google suggestions, try first letters for local equivalents of Old Navy, Starbucks, Walmart, etc.
