I can't count the number of times I've started typing and found the Search tree jumping all over the place.

What do you mean by 'clicking QuickSearch'? If you use the Search button on the View toolbar, it will focus the Search for field in the detail pane. If you have a Favorite for a search item and click that, it will not (instead it will either stay at the currently focused pane or focus the tree pane containing the item, depending on Tools | Options | Trees | Set focus to active selection pane when going to an item). Ctrl+2 is the default shortcut to explicitly focus the detail pane.

If the search results pane is AutoHidden, then the incremental search doesn't work properly as focus is lost if there is a pause in typing.

It was a design decision to focus the results pane in that case (so that it will unhide and remain visible) to prevent confusion about where the search results are after a search starts. You could set 'Tools | Options | Search/Reminders | Incremental search delay when typing' to 0 so that the search results won't be displayed while typing a search phrase (and press Enter to initiate the search).
