Hello LarkinFox to fix the Windows 11 Taskbar search box keeps loading its best to try to restart your computer/laptop or you can fix it by my method
first Press Windows Key + R key then type explorer.exe and click ok and now the system will restart the taskbar
Can you try these steps and see if they helps:
Open Task Manager.
Go to Details tab.
Locate SearchHost.exe process, select it and click End task.
In confirmation prompt, click End process.
Restart system, check if the issue is resolved.
