For example, if you do a "find" in Terminal for "foo", switch to TextEdit, do a find for "bar", switch back to Terminal and do another "find", it will be filled in with "bar", not "foo". Likewise, if you switch back to Terminal and simply do a "find next" without even opening the find interface, it searches for "bar".
