Yes, it's corrected in 2.2.

To work with the problem in older versions I would suggest one of 
following methods:

1) create a bookmark to search page - probably good only if you hit the 
problem in one page. The url for hosts is: 
https://test.example.com/ipa/ui/#identity=host&navigation=identity&host-facet=search

2) personally I would edit the URL - it's fast if you know how it should 
look.

3) in browser JavaScript console execute:
IPA.nav.show_page('host', 'search')
Note: the params are: entity name, page name, primary key.
