Don’t know what setting I’m looking for, need some help.

So, I have two Kodi’s setup, one in the living room, one in the bedroom, and I’m using Kore to control both of them.

When I’m on the living room one, if I choose ‘search’ I have to move the cursor around, and select the letters, but when I’m on the bedroom one, I choose ‘search’ the kore app on the my android cell phone provides me with the typing line, to type it, then send it to the Kodi. I’ve looked around both Kodi’s and in Kore, but I must be missing something.

Is it Kodi that is allowing this? or is it a setting on Kore I’m just not seeing?

I’d like to be able to use Kore to type in the search, not using the arrows to move around to choose the letters.

Can anybody help me please?
