All of these crash safari in iOS for me.
What’s strange about this bug is that it happened overnight for multiple iOS version.
It seems to be a server bug that happens with the requests that populate the suggestions.
Turning off safari suggestions fixes it.

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 hav…
1) It's a tweet, not a bug report. 2) The very first thing any actual engineer on Apple's payroll ought to try to reproduce it will work (most recent official iOS, "happy path" settings that have Safari Suggestions turned on)
2) Yes, they will, but that won't necessarily repro the bug without knowing which type of device it's running on, so at the very least they might need to check several different devices, and even then other factors can come into play that go beyond basic device configuration.
I'm sure, given that this appears to affect at least a significant minority of users, that Apple will be all over it and will find a way to repro it in relatively short order. Yet, at the same time, it's obscure enough to have escaped their no doubt reasonably robust QA processes before release, so it may well be there are some wrinkles to reproduction that aren't immediately apparent.
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.
Edit: stopped reproducing here as of 19:11 UTC.
Edit: some people digged into it[2][3], [2] includes partial endpoint URLs. Apparently this was happening for 7+^H^H 10+ hour.
