When you start typing in the field, a page or document might drop down as an option.  You can choose if it is correct.  In my example, it is not.

 

VERY IMPORTANT: You must choose the arrow pointing left to save the link.  If you do not, the link will not save.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: The gear allows you to choose “open in another tab/window.” This option is recommended when the link is going to an outside source.
