There are various discussions around the issue, you can search closed issues/PRs if you want, but bottom line is that the current behaviour is intended and desired:

if there is a selection, use that
else if the cursor is in a word, use that
else last search

This happens if Ctrl+f is pressed to open the dialog or pressed to reload the search text with the dialog open.

But the search text is selected when the dialog is opened, or the text is reloaded, so just start typing and its replaced by your typing, or one keystroke (backspace or delete) will remove all the contents.

I doubt that this is going to be changed.
