Advanced search not autofilling like it used to? (Desktop)

[evilla-shop]

So when I used to want to search for an item categories sellthrough rate, I would search the item in the regular search bar-> advanced search, and then sold/completed listings. However, today when I tried doing this, the search would take me to all Ebay Categories, with nothing searched for. I figured that because the "Enter keywords or item number" was no longer autofilling with my initial search, I was basically searching for nothing. 

My question is how do I reenable the advanced search autofilling with the text I put in the regular search bar? Did I toggle a setting by accident or is this a bug? Although it's not a massive problem, I find it tedious that I would have to reenter all the text again any time I wanted to look at sold listings or used advanced search in general.

I just tested it, and it did keep the text I entered, but there's a simpler way that doesn't depend on that.  Just do the regular search, scroll down and look on the left, and just check the box for Sold Listings (it'll usually automatically also check the box for Completed Listings when you do that, I've found).  Could save you some time and effort.  Or use Terapeak, which is often more accurate because it doesn't show sales that didn't complete.
