What is wrong with the search function? It doesn't work properly, especially with .pdf's. Also the search bar opens by just pressing keys. Why can't the search bar activate by pressing ctrl+f like? It wants me to use this semi working search function so badly? Sometimes I can't even use shortcuts like M to mute videos because it instantly opens the buggy search function.

Because you've decided to enable the Search for text when you start typing setting.
