When I was doing mathematical problems on Google search utilizing the
Calculator, I would commonly use -, +, / and *, as well as ( and ) and ^. I
would always select specific text by highlighting blocks, and change the text.
What happened was, around the 20th or so time I searched, instead of text
getting replaced when I'd say, change (2 *2)^2 to (3 * 2)^2, when I'd press 3,
the Find bar pops up at the bottom of my screen, and any keys I pressed later
would result in Closing or Opening the Find bar (I.E, I press key 1, it opens
it, then 2, it closes, then 3, it opens, then 3 again, it closes.)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.To to Google Search
2.Press keys such as (,),^,*,/,+,-,and various numbers doing about 20 searches
using the Google Calculator functions
3.When changing problems, highlight text and replace 1 or 2 items per search,
and continue, until you hit about the 20th time.
4. Try selecting text and replacing it by tapping a key

Actual Results:  
The Find bar would pop up and down on any key I'd press, in any sequence.

Expected Results:  
I'd expect the text to be replaced, and nothing else happen.
