Settings search function

[realaud]

Once again I'm asking, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that after the most recent security update, the search function in the phone settings do not work properly?  Every time I search for something that I know is there it comes up with either no results or incorrect results.  For example, I search for USB, get nothing except as shown in the screen shot.  I have done this search before and came up with the correct setting in developer options.  Some searches come up fine, but don't offer complete results for settings I *know* are there and know where they are, but sometimes it's just easier to search, than click through multiple menus.

Works as expected on the s25U

Odd. That's the way I expect it to work and it doesnt, as you can see. This is only since the secuity update. The really odd thing is that other searches come up fine and if I tap on most of the previous searches, they will come up correctly.

Might just be a glitch

Getting the same screen as @GaryB82 on both S25U (beta Ui8) and Tab S10+. Ui7.

Try this, go to settings apps, toggle on system apps, type in the box Semantic Search Core and clear cache.

I don't have any such app. scrolled looking for it manually, because I can't search for it due to this issue . I'm out now, will tey when I get home

So, maybe the Semantic Search Core is related to the advanced AI, and since the A54 does not have advanced AI, that's probably why I do not have the setting.  It's very frustrating.  I cleared the phone's cache immediately after the update, so I shouldn't be having problems.  As I said, in most cases, I know where a setting is located, it's just easy to search sometimes. Even so, even when the search term is not found (as pictured above), the search is not saved in the search history.  I just put in an error report after rebooting and trying the search again.  Hopefully, they are not going to come back and tell me they could not replicate the issue.  However, it does look as if it's just me having the issue.  I wish someone with an A series phone would chime in here.

Maybe it's time for an S series phone!

[realaud]

I would say probably, however, I chose the A series because a) I'm a cheapskate and b) I don't want or need the advanced features of the S series and do not want to pay for what I am not going to use.
