When the viewport Surface Snapping window has focus and text is entered, it will use the text as search keywords. When the window is closed, the text is not cleared the next time the window is opened.
Workaround:
When the window is reopened, specifically clicking in the window will allow the text to be deleted manually.
Regression:
No - same behavior occurs in 4.15.3 Binary
Result:
Window is still searching for entered text
Expected:
When the window is reopened, default window options appear.
