Issue

UPDATE: Based on a recent feedback from @Aryan-Chauhan, the app now show two distinct type of trending results (with and without fire icon):

Starting with the latest 18.1x versions, Google has introduced trending searches when searching for videos, as you can see in the screenshot below:

Patch

• Create a method to hide/show the parent of a view, as shown in the following screenshot:

• Pass the imageview of resource "R.drawable.yt_outline_fire_black_24" as parameters for the method "SearchSuggestionVisibility(imageView, boolean)", with parameter boolean set to "false", as shown in the following screenshot:

• Pass the imageview of resource "R.drawable.yt_outline_arrow_time_black_24" and "R.drawable.yt_outline_search_black_24" as parameters for the method "SearchSuggestionVisibility(imageView, boolean)", with parameter boolean set to "true", as shown in the following screenshot:

Motivation

Remove useless and annoying searching results.

Those search trendings don't appear for me, instead the search history appears.

Maybe it's some sort of A/B testing Google does at you.

Yeah, but it can be patched before it is globally enabled.

[Aryan-Chauhan]

I think it is now globally enabled for all users. Now there are 2 types of trending searches.

BTW, my search history is disabled & has zero items in it. Also, watch history is disabled & has zero items in it.

@0xrxL Can you edit your issue and include the below screenshot & mention that there are now 2 types of trending searches (fire & non-fire) ?

[0xrxL]

Done (update added in the feature request description)

@LisoUseInAIKyrios Do you need of a new issue with steps to implement this feature, based on last 19.16.39 version?

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

If the information here is still valid then a new issue is not needed.

[0xrxL]

I can't see these results anymore.

Tested it on 3 accounts.

[Aryan-Chauhan]

Kindly re-open. I'm still getting them on both dev & stable patches with recommended version of APK (clean installation everytime).
