Search results appear to be lost when switching between languages
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • With semantic search enabled, Greek as the primary language (I used Greek and English)
  • Tap search, view onboarding
  • Tap one of the examples, view the search results (I used the top example)
  • Tap the secondary language. In this case, there are no results in English
  • Tap back to Greek

What happens?:
The "no results" appears under Greek

What should have happened instead?:
The semantic and lexical search results for Greek reappear

What Cooltey Tais and I decided to address this is when switching languages, user sees toolbar, and keyboard pops up.
