A question about the operation of the Search function on mobile

If I open the search tool from the side menu I get a panel like this:

If I tap the search bar, I am able to start entering search parameters but the rest of the panel is unchanged:

If I cancel this operation, or if I start entering a search term, I get shown a list of recent searches which I can choose from in the lower part of the panel - as well as options to change the books I am searching etc

I would have thought it more helpful to the user to present the list of recent searches - and the options to change search parameters - as soon as the user tapped in the search field.

Is there a reason why it does not work that way?

Thanks, Graham
