messages app doesn't allow me to search anymore

[Android Central Question]

`Today is 12/1/18. I used to as of a week ago been able to type in a word in the messages app search box and the app would show me all conversations that contained that word or phrase.

I still see the search option but when I type in a word and hit search it doesn't do anything.

Better if we keep the discussion in just one thread. I'm going to close this thread to avoid confusion and continue posting on the one linked above.
