Typed search bar entries are the same for each tab. How can I keep new searches different in each tab without retyping?

How do I associate typed search bar entries specifically with the current tab only?

Currently, when I type an entry into the search bar it shows up in the search box of every tab open. If I switch to a different tab, there it is. I want to switch tabs and be able to have my last search in that tab still appear, not the typed entry of a prior tab appear. Because when I switch back to a different tab I want to be able to resume with that search without retyping it each time.

Sorry, the Search Bar is part of the window and not associated with any particular tab.

The address bar is different in each tab so why can't the search bar be too? I would understand if they weren't right next to each other.

Use the about:home page or the Google website to do searches if you want separated search bars.
The search bar on the Navigation Toolbar is part of the user interface and is the same in all tabs in a specific window.
You can open separate windows if you want a different search bar on the Navigation Toolbar or use the location bar to search.
