That's because you have that set in your Finder Settings.
With the Finder open, go to Settings > Advanced, and change the drop-down at the bottom to "Search the Current Folder". This is something I do on the first run of every new Mac I set up.

No, that's because it's a default value, so the complain is 100% spot on. Bad defaults should be treated as a bug.
"Search this Mac" should be confined to Spotlight OR as a fallback if the local folder doesn't return anything.
