Here is how you turn it off:

1. Select Customize( the three vertical lines icon ).
2. Select "Settings"
3. In the 'search' section set:"Set which search engine is used when searching from the omnibox." to 'NONE'.

My list of search engines does not have a NONE option as described in the accepted answer. However, I managed to turn off auto-complete by clearing the browsing history (under Settings > Advanced > Privacy). This will require me to clear it every few days, I expect.
