Cannot Search Settings, Not Working Shows Blank Results

After restoring iPhone from a backup, Settings Search isn't working anymore, it shows blank results.


How can I fix this without resetting my settings?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Nevermind, I just found the solution! 😀


You don't need to "Reset All Settings" to fix this issue -- it makes restoring Settings from backups kinda pointless, don't you think?


Here's how I solved my Settings Search problem:


  1. Go to Settings: General: Language
  2. Change your Language to English (UK)
  3. Force close the Settings app
  4. Go to Settings: General: Language again
  5. Change your Language back to English (US). Enjoy your Settings Search fully functional again! 🙂
