iOS 8 has a new feature where it scrapes every email for contact info and then does a drop down box at the top after a second or so. It's starting to bug me though since it shifts my email down as I'm in the middle of reading it and I have to find my place again. Does anyone know if this can be disabled?

This is what it looks like:

I'm actually pretty surprised no one else is talking about this. This is a disruptive feature and makes going through your emails a frustrating experience. I can't find an option to turn it off, though, so I guess I have to hold out for a jailbreak solution again.
 
Have you tried using the ignore option there? In my case I used to see it off and on and just not paying attention to it, but at one point I actually started selecting the ignore option and after a couple of times of doing that I haven't seen it since.
