Search in clipboard manager tabs?

Someone check me on this, maybe my memory is playing tricks on me.  I use the Clipboard Manager (WIndowsKey + V) regularly

, not for clipboard history but for selecting emojis and GIFs.  Today I noticed that when I switch to the emoji or GIF tab, I can no longer search for potential emojis/GIFs.  Like I used to be able to type "thumb" in the search bar and it would show me emjois featuring a thumb.

Has this changed?  Any possibility of getting it back???  Did they move it?  Can I search another way?

    In Windows 11, press Win + . to open the emoji panel; the search box at the top can still be used to search for emojis and GIFs.

      Yes, I know how to open the panel.  The problem (at the time) was that the search bar was not appearing.  But I can't recreate this now. 🤨

    I don't know why but the search bar is showing up on the original machine where it was missing.  ðŸ¤·  I don't think I even rebooted but I did shutdown at the end of each work day.

    The earlier screenshot is from Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2, OS build 26200.8457.

    On another machine (Windows 11 Home version 25H2, OS build 26200.8457), the search bar is still present:
