When Googling, my search text often appears at the bottom of the page and not in the searchbar. How do I stop this?

See attached screenshot. The lower search bar will disappear, but will often "steal" the text I want to appear in the normal search bar.

I uploaded it again. Can you see it?

Usually that small search bar on the bottom of the screen usually is a Find/Find and Replace search bar. When you search in the middle search bar by Google, does it auto fill the one below?

It seems to only happen when the Google page is loading, and I am typing while the page is loading... maybe I am too impatient, and should just wait until the page is fully loaded.

There could be a reason for that, I'm assuming when the page is loading, while typing triggers a reason to find on the page. Since there's no availability to search the web without the Google page loaded 100%. If it happens again after being fully loaded, let us know!

Thanks for your feedback. At least now I know what the search bar is. In this day of immediate gratification, I guess I can wait 3 or 4 seconds for the page to load, and THEN type my search query. It has not happened AFTER the page has loaded. But it was bugging me to know what happened.
