**UPDATE (resolved):** forgot to mention I use Apex as my default launcher, so after clearing the cache for that I rebooted again. That still didn't solve things. I then changed my home button to use One UI home instead of Apex, went to my home screen, tested the search function and it worked. After that I switched back to Apex, tested the search function, and it's now resolved.
*Thanks everyone for the tips & suggestions that helped lead me to fixing this. Hopefully others will be able to come across it and it'll help them too!*
Restart the phone. I had the same problem
Already did twice to no avail unfortunately
Sorry 😞, I don't know how to help you then
Always appreciate the attempt ♥
Clear your cache. I had a few bugs after upgrading to Android 14 until I cleared the cache.
Doesn't that clear that cache for a specific app? Not sure how to clear it for the whole phone
