Can't search text in Gallery

I have many pictures/screenshots in my gallery and I find it convenient if I use the text search bar to quickly reach such pictures.

For some reason, it always says no results in my S26U, did I forget enable a setting? Or the method is wrong?

Here is a screenshot for example with some clear words using notes, even though I can copy each text using gallery, it doesn't show up in results when I search the exact words.

It refuses to let go

I’m being held captive. Even moving my head ever so slightly, it clings ever so hard on me. It’s been 3 days, supplies are running low, I’m scared.

Where is the Copy Image and Fast Scroll on Samsung?

ello Samsung users, I am new to your community and I'm seeking professional assistance.
I recently switched from using an iPhone 12 (Which lasted 6 years and served me well) to Samsung S26 Ultra, The hardware is phenomenal, and I'm still learning a lot about it. However, I find using the software for basic and simples tasks very frustrating.

I wanted to copy an image to my clipboard from apps such as Whatsapp and Telegram. I was confused I couldn’t find it anywhere, I lookd like an elderly woman looking intensely confused at a laptop screen. The Copy Image tool is nowhere to be found, the only way I can go around this is to save it to gallery then upload from to gallery to the desired app which is absolutely absurd to anyone who uses a Windows PC or an iOS.

Did I miss something in my phone setting to enable this? Why does Samsung complicate this process.

Another problem is the lack of a scrollbar. The option to fast scroll in most apps such as Gmail/outlook, Reddit, Youtube etc etc etc. Yesterday I was reading a long article, I was annoyed there was no scrollbar is sight to be used, is there anyway to enable it? I noticed Samsung’s own browser and gallery have this feature, why not make it available to the other apps?

I like the hardware of S26 Ultra, not so much for the UI and apps

I come from iPhone 12, and this is my very first Samsung/Android device EVER. I've been using the S26 Ultra for 1 week now, so forgive me if I got something wrong.

I absolutely love the performance of this device. The camera, the battery with its fast charging capabilities and wireless sharing. The display, especially the privacy display, is amazing, and I have yet to learn more. I still think separate volume buttons works better for me instead of a single connected volume bar, but I digress

I find myself disappointed with how poor the software/apps are for the user experience compared to IOS (and sometimes PC), where do I start?

  • The copy/paste tool is the most simple and used tool in any device, and thus it should always be nearby for utilization. Somehow, popular apps such as Telegram and Whatsapp don't have this clipboard function, I can ONLY copy texts but never photos or videos. Seriously, Samsung/Android? why is no one talking about this? don't you all people have a PC? it's absolutely frustrating now I can't copy say a picture from one app to another.

  • The quick scroll tool function is missing in most apps like in Google, Youtube, Reddit, Telegram, Instagram etc. I only found it functioning in the native samsung browser and maybe in powerpoint? I could be wrong, I haven't downloaded many apps. But I still don't appreciate losing this function in my most used apps above.

  • I noticed that I can't sign out of YouTube without having to completely remove my gmail from my entire phone! If a PC and ios can simply sign out, then why can't android do it.

  • In google app, the forward button is completely missing. I can rewind back to the previous page but why remove it?

  • Finally, I feel like Instagram and YouTube were initially made for the ios then ported to the Samsung/Android with minimal optimization, especially when I hold the 2x speed feature, the apps become laggy and stutter. I haven't tried it on other apps so i can't judge them.

I know some people find these points insignificant and many of you would be like "Thats it? this is what you're complaining about?". I am not cherry picking these missing/compromised features, I really use them on a daily basis on my PC and my old phone.

I am not biased towards Apple in anyway, I paid for this device for Chirst's sake. I genuinely made an effort to try something new, and I didn't find myself fit.

perhaps with time I may get used to it?

English isn't my first language, I couldn't really express my feelings that much in this post, but I hope you understand what I wanted to point out. Sorry if this post was hard to comprehend.
