Search Map Problems

[+The Snowdog]

Both of these have been discussed before, but I can't find those threads (forum search is worse than useless - there's yet another thing to fix) so I will start a new one.

 

(1) When you are using the search map, one might often highlight the text of the old search and begin to type in a new one. The expected behavior is that as soon as you start typing, your new text replaces the old. However, your first character is always lost, probably due to code that wants to populate that field with "City, State, Coordinates..."  This is unexpected and atypical; in a web search field, the expected behavior is that if you highlight the existing text and begin to type, your text should appear. This bug needs to be addressed.

 

(2) And no matter what you type, you always get two spurious results. They are never what you want. And if you just hit "Enter" the search will be on the first of those spurious results, not on the text that you intend to search.This occurs in other search fields on the site as well. This "feature" should be removed.
