Disable Number Contact Highlighting

This is driving me nuts!! Whenever I go to highlight and select a number, or part of a number in Preview, I'm unable to do so because a box and arrow are presented, with an option to then create a contact if I click on the arrow. I just want to manually select the number, but am unable to do so because of this ridiculously annoying feature! Can anyone tell me how to permanently disable this? Image enclosed.
