Our kibana service(v4.4) is hosted on Linux.
The experience with kibana that I am having right now is that it keeps pre-populating and committing cached searches when I am trying to use the search bar. Is there a way for it to only populate and submit what I am trying to type into the search bar? I can't even type in the searches before it rewrites and submits
This is happening when too frequently and I can no longer demo, use, or recommend this service until I can figure out how to get this frustrating behavior to stop.
I am interfacing with google chrome on Windows 7 machine.
Any advice would be helpful.

This was fixed in version 4.5.4 of Kibana [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/7801](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/7801)
I'd recommend at least updating to the latest 4.x version if you can [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/kibana-4-6-4](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/kibana-4-6-4)

Thanks Matt! This will definitely help us in feeling out which version to jump to as we consider our upgrade strategy.
