Sorry, your comment shows you still don’t make the distinction between the last
recorded and the last used.

Take a big spreadsheet where you want to browse “FindReplaceRememberedSearches
not respected in quick find bar” one by one. When you encounter one of them,
you realise you temporarily want to look for an occurrence of “abcde”. You did
that then you want to go back to your main searches, but now every time you
open the quick search bar, Calc stubbornly will want you to search only for
abcde. Your main search is nuked and you have to remind it every time; as soon
as you select it from the history and use it, close the search bar and open it
again, it stubbornly comes back although you don’t want it any more (i.e.
because you’ve been using “FindReplaceRememberedSearches not respected in quick
find bar”).

This behaviour is inconsistent with Excel (Excel always proposes to reuse the
last used search) but also with Calc itself, since if you don’t open the quick
search bar, but press Ctrl Shift F, it would indeed reuse the last used search
term !
