I was having the same issue and it was driving me nuts. Don't hold the microphone in the search field, just press, release and talk and it will search like normal.

I was having a problem where dictation wasn't working in the search field alphabet, it would just bring up the full Siri search. Instead of holding the Siri button when a letter is highlighted like you used to, just press and release. That seems to have fixed my issue.
