Uninstalled apps still show in settings search but results links are non functional

Apps that have been removed still appear if you search for them using the search bar in settings. The link is a dead link but they shouldn’t show. I have an iPad also ios12 and this problem is NOT happening there. Many people have posted this same problem and the responses are rediculous!!! They just show them how to delete an app! Yes, we all know how to do that - that’s not the issue here. The app is gone but in settings search it appears it’s not. And once again, this is happening on my ios12 phone and NOT on my ios12 iPad.

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Wow! Really? That’s an acceptable response? My device is not performing as the iOS software is designed. This makes me question what other designed functionality of the iOS software is also not performing as designed. I.e - access to saved passwords, Apple Pay, locked notes, etc. Call me anal, but when my device is not performing as designed - I loose confidence in the device
