This is because you type "m" and so the first thing that happens is we find the whole word "m" where the text contains " It is waterproof up to 40 m with the waterproof case" If you copy-paste "Mi" from elsewhere directly into the find bar, without typing "m" first, the behaviour is as you suggest.
