Deleted app keeps showing on spotlight iOS 11 - iPhone X

I had an app, I deleted it, but when I type the app's name on Spotlight, it keeps appearing, the icon doesn appear but the name of the app comes up as a result, when I click on it it takes me to the Settings app's main screen but there's no trace of the app because obviously it was deleted. Does anyone know how to stop it from appearing in Spotlight after deleting it?

iPhone X, iOS 11.3.1

Let's have you take a look at this article and attempt to change your search settings:

I have tried changing the settings but it doesn't work.

I even tried redownloading the app, changing the settings so it doesn't show any results on spotlight and then deleted it but it is still appearing on the results every time I write its name on spotlight.
