Play Store search is superseding everything else when hitting Search button

Reported by seldnp...@gmail.com, Feb 27 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10323.39.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.89 Safari/537.36
Platform: 10323.39.0 (Official Build) beta-channel eve

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Hit search button.
2. Start typing to hit something.
3. See results for desired webpage and hit enter

What is the expected behavior?
It opens the webpage or search term I was looking for.

What went wrong?
It opens a completely unrelated Play Store listing that shows up just in time to be activated by my hitting the Enter key.

Did this work before? Yes Not sure

The Play Store should not be the primary target for search. Most, if not all, of the time that I hit the search button, I am *not* looking for a Play Store listing, but to just navigate as quickly as possible to a webpage or an app that I have already installed. Is installing an app really considered to be the primary use of the search button? This is a real regression and exceedingly annoying.

Thanks for reporting. It seems there's a "gotcha" moment for slow connections when there's no matching local app. We will look on what we can do to address this.

The problem isn't just the "gotcha moment." It's that the system search is
defaulting to an uninstalled app in the first place.
Agree with comment 2. Also, my connection isn't slow, so don't think that's the issue.

Play store results are not currently in the launcher: tracked on this blocking bug.
