I was having the same issue. I turned off the "Search Engine Suggestion" and the "Safari Suggestions" in Settings under Safari. Try and see if that works.. It worked for me!!

IOS – Safari on iOS crashes whenever I try to type anything into the search field

Deleting my history fixed it for me.

Safari > Bookmarks icon > History tab > Clear

Something in my history was poisoning the search results, and causing Safari to choke whenever you trying to type something into the search field. Since Safari tries to suggest pages that you’ve visited before, if a bad site shows up there, it can (presumably) cause things to go wrong.

In my case, the problem site was particularly bizarre. I dumped a copy of my Safari History using iExplorer before I wiped it, and started looking for unusual entries. These two stood out to me:

Title                 URL                      Visits  Last Visited
Cannot Open Page      <long Facebook url>      -7      14 Aug 2015, 17:16
Cannot Open Page      <long Facebook url>      1       14 Aug 2015, 17:12

The Facebook URL is an authentication page that was apparently launched by an iOS game. I don’t understand how it can be last visited in the future (that date is nearly two months after the problem started) or have negative visits.

I’m genuinely mystified as to how that item entered my history – I barely play the game in question, and I’ve never messed about with the date/time settings on my phone. And I have no idea how you get negative visits – possibly some sort of overflow somewhere?

I think it’s likely that this item was the culprit, but how and why are total mysteries.

Deleting your Preferences properties file should do it.

Close Safari completely.
Open a Finder window and go to your Home folder (the one with your Username).
Go to the View menu, and select "Show View Options". (Alternatively, you can hit Command+J.)
At the very bottom of the options window, select (check the box) "Show Library Folder".
Now browse through these folders: Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences
Once you drill down to Preferences, you'll see a file named com.apple.Safari.plist. That's your preferences file. Delete it.
Re-open Safari. Your preferences should all now be back to default. You'll have to set things back the way you had them before, but you'll be rid of the messed-up settings.

That should do it!
