Can not find waypoint in flight plan in nav (only shows up under "nearby")

ok for example i am at VVDH and south west of it is a waypoint close nearby visible on the map called MD11. I am using the garmin3000 and when i search for nearby waypoints it will find it. But lets say i am far away and can not use the nearby feature. i go into the flight plan and try to insert the waypoint there by entering its name manually. this time it will find 2 waypoints but both over 4000 miles away and the one nearby does not show up. what am i doing wrong or is this a bug?
