Typing a new search from a profile shows its results. "when i search something and then click on a user to bring up their profile/feed then type into the search again i don't see any results, it's like the search box stops working. if i click enter it does a full text search" (Adam, 2026-11-14). The search is kept when a result is opened (Back from the profile lands on it), and the desktop header field only cleared the page on top when there was no search yet: from then on each keystroke updated a results page hidden under the profile, while Enter (openTextSearch) still worked. Now every keystroke there steps the profile, thread or live page aside and keeps the query and rows (clearFeatureNavKeepSearch, userSearchQuery); Back returns to the profile. A visitor (no wallet) typing there was sent to the wallet screen, which derived receive addresses from no seed ("Invalid mnemonic"); the wallet screen is only chosen with a wallet open. profile-stream-test types a second query into the 1300px header field from the opened profile: no results and no Back before, both now, and no page errorsHEADmaster
