It does feel a little bit ... "Google-y", and I'm against this kind of thing as promotion of some services/sites over others is not net neutral.
But since I love ya, Vivaldi - and it's helping you survive - I'll let this one slide...

Really not a fan of this. I typed in 3 characters (der) and it suggested a random website (dermstore.com) I would have never visited.

@darren91: I turned it off. I typed in 4 characters (dere) and I have a bookmark which starts with 'dere', it would still suggest dermstore.com.
Very annoying. -
@darren91 The suggested domain from Direct Match come from a localized list from Vivaldi, not from sites you visited.

I've probably just missed this if it came up before, but that's a very useful setting!

The help pages and linked article say that the suggestions come from locally-stored files, but... where are they? What files? If I want to see what's in them or control their contents, how do I do that?

@sstoneb Perhaps files like ....partner.....json in program's subfolder default-bookmarks contain more information.
