Google search app window not present when menu button selected

[Jasen96]

Hi. I search using the Google search bar on the home screen, it opens a results window, but when I press the menu button to scroll through open apps the window doesn't show in the list of apps open, why might this be happening as pretty sure it used to be there.
I have a Samsung S23 ultra with Nova running the home screen navigation.
Thanks in advance.

May be a Nova 'bug' (please report to them) when integrating with Google. If you use the Google app directly (not trough the Nova search bar), the results/open page do show in the Recents menu.

I can confirm the behavior you're describing on my end, however. Still on the latest beta since February, so not sure what changed on the Google app's side to have caused this (I also remember seeing this in the Recents menu before).

Great, thanks for your reply, will test out using the native setup and report to Nova accordingly if confirmed.
Cheers

I can confirm I had the same result. Works in Samsung native home screen functionality, doesn't show in Nova. Have sent them the details. Cheers again for the help.

Nova said it's a Google bug, and hopes that Google fixes it. Me not understanding the coding behind why that's the case, I'll trust that one or the other sorts it out, as it's really annoying when doing what I do for work and education via the phone at times. I do like Nova generally but may revert back to Native Samsung UI home app.

Can confirm the bug is fixed in the April 22 beta (8.0.15)
