Search hotkey (Ctrl + F) doesn't automatically search for selected text anymore

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select text inside a note.
  2. Press Ctrl - F.
  3. Obsidian now automatically searches the note for the selected text. This is good.
  4. Click to select other text inside a note (without closing the search box).
  5. Press Ctrl - F again.
  6. The search field remains populated with the previous search command. This is not good.

Expected result

Earlier, Obsidian could automatically do a new search with the currently selected text. Instead now we have to copy/paste the second (and third, fourth, and so on) search queries inside the note’s search box.

Actual result

See steps above.
