Global rating vs. specific rating when seeking

Hello,

When we seek, our global rating appears. Then since today in the game the time-specific rating appears instead (which is good in my opinion).

Shouldn't the same rating appear in the seeks as well? I would expect my blitz rating to appear if I'm seeking for a blitz game, my bullet rating to appear if it's a bullet game, etc. Otherwise it's just weird. Somebody'll take my seek and still have no clue what they'll be up against. Right?

I think it's way better this way by the way, with time-specific ratings being used instead of a global rating that doesn't mean much...

Philippe.
This leads to confusion; Standard seems to mean Global and Classical seems to mean Standard.

Why the global rating is the highest of all?
There would be an overestimation or is other ratings which are underestimated?
Standard = The normal FIDE rules of chess
Classical = Slow time controls
