This is a really small thing, but it happens to me a lot when using search. I click on the search box, and then leave the cursor below the search box while I type. Then after I hit enter to run the search, but if the cursor is located over one of the results that pops up, then it goes straight to that page. And if I type and press enter quickly, then the pop-up results are irrelevant since it didn’t update to the full search term yet, and it will go straight to a random page.
I’ve had a similar experience. I have to move my cursor away from the typing area to make sure it doesn’t hover over a search result and take me to that page instead of the overall search results. Basically exactly as @D3r3k23 described it.
The popup search results honestly don’t need to be there. They’re not fast enough to be useful. Typing, pressing enter, and waiting for the results works better.
Also, to be fair to Trakt, your mouse hovering over an “option” and hitting “enter” is correct functionality. Those are a mixture of “auto-complete” search module they are using. It’s annoying for sure. But this is actually correct functionality as the search thinks you highlighted that option on purpose.
What I do, is just quickly click in the search and make sure I don’t move my cursor down…keep the cursor in the search box.

I don’t think I’d agree that it’s the correct behavior. That’s not how the search bar in Google Chrome works. But that’s not a big deal, the real problem is that results are just a little too slow to appear.
never even noticed that
