Apps not searchable in spotlight search in ios 12.1.2

I am trying to search and open apps from search but they are not showing up after I type first few letters of the app or complete app nameon my iphone X. This started happening after ios 12.1.2. Any one faced the same problem and how to fix this?

Hey Redraider,


I see that you're having some trouble with apps showing when you use Search.


First, make sure that these apps are included in your searches by checking the settings. Here's how:


  • Go to Settings > Siri & Search.
  • Scroll down and select an app.
  • Then tap Search, Suggestions, & Shortcuts to allow or prevent results and shortcut suggestions from showing up. When you turn this feature off, you'll have the option to select Show App. Turn this off to prevent the app from appearing in your search results.


These steps are from Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Let us know if after changing those settings, you're still having trouble with these apps appearing in your search.


Cheers.
