How do I disable the Search Everywhere shortcut?

IntelliJ IDEA 13 has the new Search Anywhere feature. It sounds like it might be useful, but so far it just gets in the way. It's mapped to some kind of magical shift-based shortcut, and it comes up every time I try to shift-click to select text. When this happens, the pop-up flickers and gets into some stuck state, so the only way to get rid of it is to click in the editor pane, which of course loses the selection.

I call the shortcut "magical" because the Search Everywhere action appears in the SettingsKeymap list with no mapping, so I can't remove this mapping the usual way. Searching the dialog for search gives no relevant results.

How can I disable this buggy feature until it's ready for production use, and get back the ability to select text?

To disable the "Search everywhere" feature, you need to invoke "Go to action" (Ctrl+Shift+A), then type "Registry...".

Scroll down to "ide.suppress.double.click.handler" and check the box.

After updating to build 133.331, I tried assigning a normal shortcut to it in SettingsKeymap, and that made it stop appearing on double-shift.

It's called Search Everywhere, and it's present in keymap.

For me it's perfectly disabled.

EDIT As I'v found it is hardcoded now, and will popup at doubleshift source

There is also an issue at jira, about this problem.

I hope it will be fixed soon.
