Settings search not working in macOS 27

After upgrading to macOS 27, the search feature within System Settings is not working properly.

When I use the search field in System Settings to look for a setting or preference, the search does not return the expected results. This makes it difficult to quickly locate settings, especially when I don't know which section a particular option is located under.


The search functionality in System Settings was useful for quickly navigating to specific settings in previous versions of macOS.
