Search function not working in "messages" on brand new iPhone 13 PRO

The search function is not working in my text messages on my brand new iPhone 13 PRO. This phone is literally only 2 hours old. When I try to search for a keyword or a name, no text messages pop up that I know have that word or name in the search field.


Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

An iPhone that new is still updating the spotlight index which involves text searches. It also may run your battery down. Give it 72 hours.
