Did I bork something in my settings? Anyone else having issues searching from the google search bar at the bottom of the home screen? I TECHNICALLY works but takes like 1 minute to appear. Voice searching works. Searching through chrome works perfect. But the home screen search bar, nope. Why so many glitches on Android 12 lol.

Ive tried looking on the forums and on google.com i have found a lot of stuff stating the same problems but no fixes. So if someone could either explain to me the problem or a solution that would be awesome.
FOr some reason on the Note 2 and S3 i think for that matter Google now wont work 100%
1. if you press menu the menu pops up for a sec and then disappears. only way around this is if you press in the search bar as if you were going to type then you can press menu.
2. I no longer have the little picture at the top that shows either the sun (if its day light) or the moon (if its night) its just the search bar with all my recent searches under it which is super annoying. If i use the fix above to get to the settings and turn google now off and then on i get my little picture back until i leave Google now. then its gone again.
Like I said in the other thread. I was able to uninstall the updates for Google Search and all is well for me.

Before updating google now, go into google now settings/voice/hotword detection and turn it off. Menu button will work fine after the upgrade. Some issue with hotword detection and Note 2.
I googled it and found that this may be what many people were looking for but I don't know why it started to behave like this.
I do find the swiping up from home button gesture useful for me to launch Google search but somehow it stop working. There usually should be a semicircle with 'Google' on top when halfway swiping up but what I get now is a search icon that function as it will launch last used app (if swiping gesture is done in launcher) or will do nothing (when gesture done in any app other than launcher). I did not disable Google Search, reboot didn't help, and clearing cache of Google search didn't help too.
I don't know what I did to get this as a result. Any clue on what's happening? Nexus 7 2013 stock kitkat
solution found
Dolphin browser causing this. Uninstalled it and everything is back to normal
Pixel 2 XL
Android 10
March Update
Google Play Services 20.12.14
Google App 11.3.7.21
Since March update here's what happens:
- from the home screen I click on search bar at the bottom
- I type search terms and hit return
- I get the search results
- the top search bar contains the search terms
- I click on an item from the search results
- Chrome is opened
- I swipe back to go back to the search results
- the search results page is shown but...
... the top search bar is blank
... the phone is unresponsive for a few seconds (3-5 seconds)
... the top search bar is filled again with the search items
... the phone becomes responsive again
This happens only if gesture navigation is enabled: if buttons navigation is enabled the freezing issue disappear.
I have also tried in safe mode and the issue happens when gesture navigation is enabled and disappears with button navigation.
This happens also in other apps like Amazon. So seems to be a global problem.
Try the April update?

I have this bug after march update too
after April update it fixed.
But I got a more annoying bug
the system UI sometimes freezes while waking up after a long time of screen off
Anyone beside me still use the 3 button navigation option? I often find the current apps (right most) button unresponsive, and often the "learn more" button on facebook pages unresponsive. Using gesture navigation works fine but not button navigation. I've tested this with 3 different launchers to verify it is not my Apex launcher I've be using for ages. Anyone else observe this?
I did still use 3-button navigation until my Pixel 6 Pro. I think my wife still uses the 3-button navigation, though.
I *might* have briefly had 3-button navigation enabled on the P6P, and it sounds familiar that I might have seen issues like what you describe with Recents. I didn't notice any problems regarding "learn more" on Facebook. I use Nova Launcher Prime.
Fakebook? People actually use that? I always blacklist all their domains on my DNS servers, pure hostile privacy invading trash.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Maps is open and full screen, I'm driving somewhere and I need to ask Google a question. I used to say 'OK Google where's the nearest gas station', I would then see gas stations on my route.
Now when I say OK Google, Maps closes down to a small floating screen, and Google doesn't answer my question.
I've done some testing and the issue only happens when the phone is landscape. I keep my phone in landscape when in my car and cannot change this.
I never had this issue up until 4-6 weeks ago,
When in portrait and I say 'OK Google' I get a bar at the bottom with the Google Voice icon displayed, see screenshot with yellow arrow.
However In landscape that bar doesn't show and saying ok Google refund me to the home screen
I'm sure that bar at the bottom is 'driving mode'. I turned off driving mode, however now my issue appears in portrait and landscape!
I look to have resolved it! Uninstalling the Google app from Play Store, then clicking 'Update', then restarting phone.
Then go into Google app>settings>voice>Voice Match> Enable hey Google. I now noticed the white bar shown in the attached was showing. I then clicked the blue bar, something like 'enable more features'.
Now the behaviour is that I'm in maps full screen (portrait or landscape) I say OK Google, the same thing happens before where it returns me to home screen and minimises maps to a little floatingng window, however I see the white bar, I say my request 'find Gas station', and make comes up full screen and showed my gas stations on my route!
Darn it, its reverted back to how it was!
