Description
When search finds certain keywords, they might originate from a target-specific page. When you click on it, the target selector does not switch to the appropriate target, meaning the user is shown a page that does not have the content that was searched for.
To reproduce, select the C target and then search for private preamble (a feature that the C target not yet has). After clicking on the first hit, you navigate to the page about preambles, but the the target is still C, not C++.

Research direction
Start by tracing the search result links and the target selector using the private preamble reproduction with C and C++. Check how the clicked result identifies its target and verify that navigation switches from C to C++ when the result is target-specific. Done means the page shows the searched content under the appropriate target.
