Why does the active box (at the top) change my search criteria?
I type in one thing then it decides that it's going to search something entirely different. 😅

Could it not do that.

    It is doing exactly what you told it to do —- in a manner that many find frustrating. The box is a general purpose command box - it takes your text entry and picks the actions it thinks match your command most closely. This usually includes 3 or 4 of some Search options, some Factbook options, some book options, some tool options, some command options, a layout option or two …. It expects you to select one of the options it offers. If you hit enter without selecting an option it believes you have asked for the top line option and will change your text to match.
