Finder search note 9 pie +oneUi

[One97nine]

I have just updated to android pie and the one ui on my note 9, i am disappointed to find that i can no longer search and locate installed apps like i could before, i really hope im just being stupid and its a setting i have missed. Any help would be appreciated

Not sure what you mean mate. I still can. Open the app drawer by swiping up and its there right on the top. See screenshot. If you don't see it I suggest resetting the phone and trying.

Yes i see that, but when i search in that box, ot doesn't display installed apps it searches everything else apart from apps the closest i can get is app info

I just checked and it shows apps on mine. Maybe try resetting your phone.

Thanks for your help, mine doesn't search in real time either, its waiting until I press enter before performing the search. Very odd.. thanks for your help.

I updated my note 8 to Pie yesterday, and I found same problem that finder can't search my installed apps, did you find the solution?

[One97nine]

Yes I did find the solution, I had to factory reset the whole, device, it was inconvenient but it worked, good luck and don't forget to backup

[kamoko]

Thanks for your help, factory reset is a big work, bro.

I have the same problem after the update.

I am also facing the same issue after installing the Pie Update . Is there any alternative to factory reset solution. 

It's quite cumbersome to install all the apps back again after factory reset. 

Kindly suggest.
