A new record store opened here in Minneapolis last month. The place is called "Flashlight Vinyl" and I was supposed to meet a friend there the other day. I needed the address so I entered "Flashlight Vinyl" into Cortana's search field on my phone.
Instead of searching the web for that term, Cortana decided that I was actually asking her to turn on my phone's flashlight mode. With the flashlight now on, she gave me the option of searching the web for that term... but what I really needed to do was turn the flashlight back off. The "Flashlight" button in the Action Center was unresponsive, though. It seems that you can't use that button to turn the flashlight off once Cortana has turned it on. Only Cortana can turn it back off again. That just requires typing (or telling) Cortana "flashlight off" and she does just that.
But if I try to search for anything that contains the word "flashlight" in it, she will turn the light back on. Just another example of Microsoft's complete lack of quality control.
