This ("Entering a search query should not clear the selected 'department' but instead, it should norrow down the results within that specific department") has been fixed as part of OTA10 with introduction of filters and search semantics changes. Closing.

However, if a user selects a department and then conducts a search, navigating away/too the scope clears the search AND resets the department (tested in the Amazon and Ebay Scopes). Additionally, opening the department drop-down shows the previously selected department as still being active/applied. Recommendation: Apps Scope is a special case where we should clear searches and reset departments (including within the department drop-dow) when a user navigates away from the scope. All other scopes should preserve both the department and (where relevant) filters, but clear searches (which are easily accessible by beginning a new search and selecting from the recent search list). --- UX Comment --- Entering a search query should not clear the selected 'department' but instead, it should norrow down the results within that specific department. I understand that this was specified by design before, however, that's not the behaviour that we want to mantain in the future version of scopes. This behaviour is not specific to a single scope but the default case for all of them.
