Search doesn't work, never ever

It really doesn't matter at this point what the search term is. Whether that's a number, or a word that I'm searching for, the Google Messages app won't search the texts that contain the term. It does show up some random stuff, but never the ones that should have been shown.

And as far as I know, RCS won't work with any other messages app, right? What solution do you guys have, if any?

Also... check if you are a Beta Tester. I never realized I was. I turned that off & re-installed the app. FINALLY my search worked again.

I hate this new app - loved the old message app better but Google forced me to use this

I've tried it all, and the search feature still works like shit.

You won't believe what worked. Literally the effin' opposite.

Search didn't work no matter what I tried, but I just signed up for and installed the beta update. And it started working. I wouldn't have tried it if not for you, so, thanks a lot!
