Customizr search box not working

After further testing, I have found that the search is filtering posts by the search term and showing the teasers for the matching posts in a posts section of the homepage. This was only visible after I coincidentally added a post section to the homepage.

So, the bigger question is why can’t we have a standard search box that searches all content on the site and directs to a search results page? Was it designed to filter posts on the homepage only? Or is something not working right in my installation? If it was designed this way, is there a compatible plugin or other solution that would provide a site search without breaking the theme?
