Hi @SherryG,
Greetings from the Roku Community!
We understand your concerns about the search button on the Roku remote app. Also, thanks for the steps you took to resolve the issue.
Have you tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and signing back into the app? If not, we recommend doing so.
Please keep us posted on what you find out.
All the best,
Chel
