I already forked the ui-repo, found the correct file to fix it and even found the place where I should add a query to the search form to search only for communities if you start searching from the communities page. But then I saw that this change is already done in that file. I double checked the HTML on my instance and there it’s broken. I checked the history of the page and see it has been fixed 18 hours before I started looking into it. All my hard work for nothing.

That’s why you should always search for or file a bug report before trying to create a fix.
