Is there a way for search to stop showing images from my gallery or messages from my messaging app?

Ich verwende ein Nothing Phone 3a und habe erst kürzlich auf die 4.0 Beta aktualisiert. Ich habe Essential Search aktiviert, sehe aber keine Möglichkeit, sie zu deaktivieren. Anscheinend wird es in meiner Region nicht unterstützt, aber ich möchte auch nicht, dass meine Sachen plötzlich auftauchen, wenn ich in der App-Schublade nach etwas suche.

I use a Nothing Phone 3a and just recently updated to the 4.0 Beta. I turned on Essential Search but I don’t see a way to disable it. Apparently, it’s not supported in my region but I also don’t want my things suddenly popping up whenever I search for something in the app drawer.

You people need to learn to read. It’s all posted in the main thread.

Also post here in the feedback: https://nothing.community/d/45231-phone-3a-nothing-os-40-feedback

Why is that so difficult so every other person feels forced to post their own thread?

Anonymous931 ?? I’m not talking about “Setting Suggestion” crashing. I’m talking about how do I make my app drawer search stop showing my messages and gallery photos which were supposed to be locked behind the App Locker.

Nvm found my own answer. It’s on Universal Search’s permissions

IchikaRika were ?? Were can I find that option ?

NP3User Go to Apps > All Apps > Triple Dots > Show System > Universal Search and then take the permissions off. I atill haven’t figured out how to turn off the Gallery/Pictures one btw.

I can’t seem to find Essential Search in my Apps which means I can’t fiddle with its permissions.

IchikaRika ☹️ can’t find it in my installed and system apps list

NP3User This might only be fixed with future update. I also can’t see Essential Search in my apps.
