OneUI 6: Where has Finder app gone?

[Iain321]

I've just updated my Galaxy S23 Ultra to OneUI 6 but the incredibly useful Samsung Finder app has disappeared. 

On older versions of the UI, it provided a deep search of the phone to find folders, contacts, apps etc and you could create a shortcut to it from the homescreen. 

It seems it's now been replaced by the search bar in the apps drawer, which is nowhere near as good. 

Anyone know if it's still there, hidden away?  Or a decent link to sideload it onto my phone?

see i gate aearch bars on a himscreen hell to the no! they do this im suing and demanding refund on the phone period and im done with samsung after 20 years of loyalty this will be final straw! its an accessibilry eaaw feature and this feels like a massive FU to me and my disabilities actually im so ***** sick orlf how shitty samsung updates keep ruining my phone and thus ruining my life! enough is enough.  adding this on top of samsung constantly disabling altering my settings that are crucial worh my disability every update cause i use a fair amount of developer settings hidden options. Nah Samsun clwaely does not care qbout vonsumees like me anymore its clearly time to take legal action ovee these unqanted and frankly unacceptavle forced changes that as far as i am co ceened breaks the condotions agered to when i was sold the phone.

Totally a lifesaver. ill be honest i was kinda honestly in tears gaving panic attack over this feature vanishing

also cause i gave my phines design set ro a slightly different setup (certain innthe wat touche slides off) the new way had zero search option anywhere at all to even click on for me. although ill admit since i have 20/70 visuon and acute retinal issues irs possible id its too snall i simply couldnt see it. wouldnt be 1st time since my recent vision issues started lol. its usually been on consoles gaming i miss something smallee 10 ft away from a tv though.
