Thanks for the report @Nux 🙏🏻 Interestingly enough, what you are describing is actually the expected/designed behavior! When defining the search component for Vector 2022 (new default desktop skin in en.wiki), the Web team decided to take a different approach to displaying matches. The reason was clever and reasoned based on some external recommendations: the user is aware of their input, so bringing their attention to the rest of the match's text can help them recognize the relevant result faster.

Nevertheless, you're not the first person to find this pattern confusing or misaligned with expectations. The inconsistency with the Minerva skin/mobile implementation is also definitely not helping. So, we're considering taking your ticket as an invitation to review this behavior again.

@Sarai-WMDE In that case should I just unassign myself from the ticket, as the team decides on the behavior?

Yes, please @Jaskaran121 🙏🏻 My apologies for not noticing earlier! We need to reevaluate this pattern internally and come up with a consistent solution/plan. Thank you!
