Initial letter in Safari search won't work

[Lyn Diaper]

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro, quite old and am useless with computers but today, when I tried to search under Safari a word beginning with "p" the first p is not accepted but any p after that is eg. for "Pope" I only get "ope"

Hello and welcome.

-Which model Mac?
-Which version of OS X/macOS?
-Which version of Safari?
-Does it happen in Google Chrome or other browsers as well?
