Hi!
I have managed to find the bug hiding in the code. It was something wrong with the relevance query which messed up the results. Now you should see more results, more relevant results, but the same results for each global search. I’m adding this fix to the upcoming version as well.
As for the local search, the “search while typing” function was disabled, while the magnifier redirected to the default search page, thus it was only a bad configuration. It should also show the results while typing.
I hope it’s working now as you imagined!
