When searching, the search box automatically fills in the keywords from the previous search.

When you press Ctrl + F to open the search box, the keywords from your last search are automatically filled in, but they are not automatically selected. When you enter new text, it is appended to the end of the old keywords instead of replacing them directly. You must manually press Ctrl + A to select all or press Backspace to delete the old keywords before you can enter a new search term, which reduces efficiency.

    In browsers like Chrome or Edge, clicking the down arrow in the search box will show your search history. You can select a previous term or simply click once in the box to place the cursor at the end, then press Ctrl + Shift + Backspace to delete the entire word at once.
