Duplicate of #1752 ...

Duplicate of #1824 as well.

I know it’s somewhat impolite to poke bugs like this, but it’s been more than a year since #1752 and the problem is still around.

Any suggestions on what I can do in terms of debugging would be helpful. I can give this a weekend or the like and provide more information, but I’m not familiar with the codebase and have no clue where to start.

#1839… Still no search.

It looks like there's an aging pull request #1769 that should fix this if you want to get involved, but it looks like it mostly works and has just been in limbo due to CI being down and blocking merges. Fixing CI right now, and you can help if you want by testing the patch to see if it still works. For now though, going to close this specific ticket as it is a duplicate.
