Why would searching on the word localhost result in Confluence stating You are already logged in?

Question

I am helping someone with an odd situation - in their instance, if they search on the word localhost, they are presented with a message stating, "You are already logged in."

I watched someone do this on their instance, but I cannot reproduce this on my Confluence instance.

I understand, I was just wondering if anyone had encountered this before, and if so, how they were able to resolve it.

Hi Rob,

I don't think you and me can solve this from a distance.

It's the admin's job to find out the differences between the instances.

Hi @Nicolai Sibler ,

This doesn't happen in their test environment either.  It's peculiar.
