I upgraded my 2012 MacBook Pro to macOS Sierra and every time I type something, the same thing shows up in my launchpad search bar. Is there a way I can get that to stop?
MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.1), Launchpad
It seems like this issue can come back every once and a while. The easiest way to reset the launchpad without resetting your computer is to issue a simple command in terminal.
1. Go to Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
2. Simply type: killall Dock
3. Press enter
(make sure the Dock is capitalized)

Launch pad shouldn't' keep the focus when using another app. What app are you attempting to type to?
There is no app in particular. It just happens everywhere.
Launchpad is a place to open applications, there is a search bar at the top, when you select an application to launch, the launchpad should disappear, you shouldn't still see the search bar.
Do you see the menu bar at the top of the screen when in Launchpad? Or after you select the app, because when launch pad opens the menu bar disappears, when you select the app the menu bar should come back and the launch pad should disappear.
I wonder if either
1. The launchpad is not closing correctly.
2. There is an accessibility option activated that is keeping it open for awhile.
