    Angry Play Store Search Broken

    When i first got my phone I'm sure I was able to search for titles and subjects in the Play Store. But now whether I type it in or speak, the Search does nothing. There is a brief screen flash but I see no sign that the results are present. I think I saw something about a Samsung or Sprint update which affected search inside the phone, but isn't the Play Store outside the phone's system? The search in my contacts still works well. What happened to my phone? Has anyone else had this problem.

    Cleared the cache. No change in operation.

    Another quirk noted: when i get a drop down for previous searches and tap one it does not transfer into the search line. Basically my Play Store search function is broken.

    You could try clearing the data the same way as you did the cache and clear the search history inside the playstore settings . Other then that I'm at a loss maybe someone with some other ideas might be of more assistance .. best of luck man

    There is also an Uninstall Updates option.

    Wish they would add back the "purchased" option so I can remember what I own

    Thank you all so very much. Clearing the data restored the search capabilities to the Play Store.
