Google Voice Search not resetting

In the past whenever I launched "Voice Search" on my android phone (Samsung S3), it would bring up the google voice search prompt, where it was actively listening to what I said (the phone on the left in the picture below).

It would then search google for whatever term I said, showing the search term at the top, and a browser on the bottom (the phone on the right in the picture). If I then existed the search, and opened a different app then went back and clicked on the shortcut to "Voice Search" it would again bring up a voice search prompt where it was actively listening to what I said again (back to the state on the left).

Now, if I perform a search, exit to another application, then click on the "Voice Search" application, it then REOPENS the search I already performed (the phone on the right), as opposed to starting a fresh new search (the phone on the left). That is not the desired action. I want it to start a fresh search every time I open "Voice Search". Is that possible, or is this what we are stuck with as a result of some recent update?
 
If you exit the app (using the back button to go to the homepage), when you open the search the next time, you'll get the screen on the left.

If you go to the homescreen with the Home button to run the new app, you haven't left Search, so when you close the new app (or switch to Search), you'll still be at the screen on the right. It's not opening to that screen, it never left it.

Getting out of an app with the back button and with the Home button work completely differently.
