Whenever you press the Focus search keybind, it opens the map and sets the focus on the map search bar.
I have the shift key binded to the Focus Search so whenever I am in a situation that there is a search control, I just press shift and start typing.

You can imagine how annoying it is to press a keybind when there is no search bar visible and it opens the map and sets search control with focus requiring to escape twice to actually return to the game!

Thanks for the report however that is working as intended. Focus search specifically opens the map to search the map when pressed if there is no other search field on screen.
