MacOS Sierra下Safari Enable Quick Website Search未勾选仍存网站问题咨询

Great question—let me break down what’s happening here based on how Safari handles this feature in macOS Sierra (Safari 11.0x/11.1 Beta):

• Even when you don’t check "Enable Quick Website Search", Safari continues to quietly collect and store data for websites that support site-specific search in the background. The toggle only disables the front-end functionality (like triggering quick searches from the address bar), not the behind-the-scenes tracking of eligible sites.
• That’s why when you re-enable the option after browsing for a while, you see more sites in the "Manage Websites..." list: all the compatible sites you visited while the toggle was off were already being logged by Safari, just hidden from view until you turn the feature back on.

To test this quickly:

1. Disable "Enable Quick Website Search" and clear all existing sites in "Manage Websites...".
2. Browse a few sites that support site search (like GitHub, Amazon, or Wikipedia).
3. Re-enable the toggle and open "Manage Websites..."—you’ll see those newly visited sites already added to the list.

This is just how Safari’s design works in these versions: it separates the data collection for quick search from the feature itself being active. There’s no built-in toggle to stop the background collection entirely in Safari 11.x on macOS Sierra.
