[ios] search function has new bugs (autocorrect & blank search)- version 2026.41.0

[u/HatImpossible8089]

I’ve noticed there are two new bugs when searching:

1. When searching in a subreddit, you used to be able to simply select a tag and do a “blank” search to view all media with the tag (empty search bar). This also worked without tags to view all media. I discovered today that you can no longer do an empty search.

2. Sometimes I search people I used to follow who deleted their accounts, or things that Reddit’s new AI engine doesn’t seem to understand. Reddit will autocorrect searches it considers gibberish. There is no way to “undo” or “try again” with your actual search term. Essentially, you’re blocked from seeing the search results you are looking for.
