I cannot confirm this. Tested on 4.8.3 with your exact form and did not
observe this. It also works on 4.9.

When I add 

	::logGlobal("search_map: " . ::uneval($ref));

near the bottom of Vend::Scan::parse_map, I see:

10.10.10.6 Gnhs3Dwk:10.10.10.6 - [31/January/2002:12:07:27 -0500] testing /cgi-bin/testing/search.html parse_map: {

That is what it should be, and the search returns empty with the
bad field name. When I change the field name to a valid "description"
for the demo, then it works as expected -- "neverbe" as a search
term returns empty, and "Tool" returns two items.

Must be something else going on....

Few blame themselves until they have exhausted all other possibilities.
