This is intentional - search is to search... the icon changes based on the search type selected

what icon would you suggest for a basic text base query?

I see, I didn't realize that the icon changed when you selected a different option as the only time I pressed it was on instinct when trying to initiate a search when I'm too lazy to move my hand over to the enter key.
