I had such problems too, sometimes... i.e., I constantly forget what type of
pieces the "total" fields include: No pawns, but the kings!

I'm still using CB 7.0, but I think the screendump will also be useful for CB
8.0 (in any case, press "reset all" in the main search mask before going to
"material"):
