While you did add the "follow the steps from this doc" we still would like a repro. It might be that you forgot a step in following that doc or we are missing something in our docs that does not make it work. In either case, if you provide a simple reproduction sample that should make that clear really fast. Thanks!

@jfversluis Just wrote up a repro here: https://github.com/kklose23/shell-search-query-issue

Clicking the Get Monkeys button should also change the text within the search handler.
