No one who uses their Kobo for research can possibly be pleased with that decision on Kobo's part; one should be able to change it in the prefs.

The default search location is context-dependent. If you hit Search from within a book, it searches that book. If you hit Search in your Library view, it searches your library. If you hit Search from your homepage, it searches the Kobo bookstore. And it tells you that's what it's doing, and you can change it with a tap.
