Search highlights aren't appearing in search box on Windows 11

Hi all,

I have been used to search highlights appearing on my Windows 10 search box and it used to show up whenever I clicked the search button on my Windows 11 laptop. I had noticed that the latest build of Win 11 would display the search highlight graphics on the new search box on my work computers.

However, after updating my personal Win 11 laptop to the current build (22621.1413), I am now unable to see search highlights at all. I have already gone into Search permissions and made sure that 'Show search highlights' is enabled. I still cannot get it to appear. Reboots don't make a difference and I have exhausted all Windows updates.

Is there anything else I can do to force it to appear as it should? It's extremely frustrating.

Thank you.
