russian (cyrillic) spotlight search doesn’t show some apps

It’s been a while since my spotlight search doesn’t show some applications in results. It works perfectly with english applications, only with several russian. I’ve always been using search and it’s really annoying to swipe several pages looking for a specific app.

i’ve checked «show app in search» tick
i’ve tried to switch to different locale
i’ve updated, rebooted, hard rebooted my phone

I’ll appreciate any solution for that issue, thanks in advance!

Hmm. Interesting.

Spotlight Search Not Working:

I'm having the same issue, but with English and on a Mac. It may be a bug in the updates. My post: macOS15.6 Update: Guest User Memoji Pops Up and Vanishes at Login Screen - Apple Community

Search your App Library:

Note that built-in apps (i.e. Settings) cannot be deleted.

A. Close All Apps:

Apps may be stalled. So, save what need be, and then close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up form the bottom-left corner of your screen. Then, close all of these open apps, by sweeping up quickly for all apps.

B. Perform a Force Restart:

Try Force Restarting your iPhone. Save any information that need be. Then perform the restart. See if you can then perform this. Go Here: Force Restart iPhone - Apple Support
