Unfortunately we've been up and down this road. This is a feature of the system. I hate it too. All applications share something called the Find Pasteboard.
https://developer.apple.com/reference/appkit/nsfindpboard
I particularly dislike this when I switch away from TM to do a find in a different program, come back, and discover that my carefully configured search has been destroyed.
I've asked for a preference that would allow us to decouple TM's search fields from the Find Pasteboard, but this has been flatly refused.

Hello *,
not sure if this is a TM problem/feature at all; but I found it there, so …
Using TM 2.0-rc.4 and Skim 1.4.26 (100) on El Capitán 10.11.6, I have an odd phenomenon concerning search strings: they persist over several programs.
Example: In TM, I type something into the “Find:” field of the search dialogue, say “test123”. Then I change to Skim, and typing Cmd-F there I see “test123”. Same effect in the other direction (search words from Skim appear in TM-search), same if I use one of the search dialogues in Skims side panes. Also same with the mail search in Apple Mail.
I find this “feature” highly annoying. Is this some new Finder thing (I skipped from 10.6.8 directly to 10.11.x) or is it some TM thing? How can I disable it?
Thanks for all hints!
