What did you expect to happen?

On entering a search query and not submitting it, that the bulk actions apply button would work.

What happened instead?

It submits the search query, not the bulk action.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

• fill the search field with something but don't submit a search
• instead, check some crawl issues and select the bulk action "mark as fixed"
• press "Apply"
• instead of performing the "mark as fixed" action, it will submit the search
