Comment: By consistently cross-site, do you mean whenever the top search box appears, the default-value (in this case "news and articles" should be the same?

Comment: Exactly - currently it depends on where on the site you are (see attached screenshots). This probably means changing the Java environment rather than the Drupal one, though.
