I'm in chrome on android and it looks like i can't search for anything. If I type in any character the search icon changes to an "x". Is it the browser?? Is it me? #bugreport
@kjo
You need to use enter or return keys for search.
What @Katydiddance said: hit Enter key, search happens (is sluggish, be patient).
The "x" is just to clear the search. Try not to let the computer tell you everything has to be done with a mouse π
@FernLovebond no enter key available
@Katydiddance @FernLovebond Good thought, but nope. Darn. It must have something to do with the default keyboard on this pad then. No problem on my phone in the app. Thanks for helping. It's frustrated me for months.
@FernLovebond @Katydiddance thank you... trying to see if I can install a new keyboard then. Unfortunately it's looking like Samsung has me locked into one/their keyboard...I'll keep digging. Thanks much!
Hmm
My son says try the shift key. The smile key turns to return. π€·ββοΈ
Hopeful that you find a fix.
@Katydiddance @FernLovebond no, that doesn't do it. I'm installing some new keyboards to see if one of those will work. So far neither the Samsung or Gboard work. (No smile key on my keyboard...depends on what is installed)
@kjo @Katydiddance
Well poop. Sadly, that's not really a bug here on CoSo, so there's not much of a way to fix it--though I would say for accessibility, it'd be best if CoSo would stop swiping the "x" in for the π so you can just have both options: tap/click x to clear, or π to search. Seems like it'd be fine to keep.
