UI 7 removed the search button in the recent menu

[Jacob_faris21]

I joined the beta as I tend to do. I noticed one thing missing I used all the time. When you go into recent apps you had a search icon on the top right of screen. This is much faster then going home then going to the app section to then search. Hoping someone found how to enable this again or the devs see this post.

Why was the issue marked as solved? It is not solved. The search bar is still missing from the recent apps screen in One UI 7.0.

I bought Samsung because I hate ios, not because I wanted an ios knock off. A lot of these changes from 6 to 7 are a complete downgrade, but the fact you guys removed the search bar from the recent apps screen, and didn't even consider adding a toggle for the feature is just ridiculous. 

I genuinely fail to see any logic behind it... Why would anyone desire the function to open recent apps, see that oops the app they wanted to use got closed or didn't pop up on the bottom bar, and have the option to just tap the search bar to find it? Nah, it's much more efficient to have to then return to the home screen, so you can then swipe up, to then pull up a search bar... I can see the draw to having an option for a search bar at the bottom tray, right by where you'd be clicking or swiping up anyways, but the fact you guys removed such a commonly used, and accessible feature from recent apps is crazy. 

It should be common sense that removing frequently used UI features or burying them deeper into menus is a downgrade.

I just bought the S25 Ultra and noticed that the search function is missing. What downgrade. Please don't go all the way to the iPhone world. At least keep the things which were good. Can you bring the search function in the "recently used app" menu back?
