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.

I have an A53. Settings search works fine. It definitely has nothing to do with the device model/line/price. I can't for the life of me think how an update could've broken your phone's settings search, but I've learned not to underestimate any company's ability to screw things up.aUpqW2PSuJ.png

Thank you for weighing in. I cant fathom it either, i only know the search was working before the update, but not after.

Well, I just installed the Sept 1 security update, and my search has returned to normal - now I'll wait and see if the battery use has, as well.
