Hi, it is probably because you can also search in the address bar.

Hi, you should receive suggestions in the address bar, so please go to Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it, > Search tab, and make sure that 'Provide search suggestions' is ticked/checked. Also go to the Privacy tab (Location Bar), and tick/check your preferred options.

You can use the search bar on the about:home page to have the focus set to the search bar on the web page and not the location/address bar.
