iPhone
X and other iPhone users are facing issues that after iPhone updated it to iOS
11.2.x and restored from backup, the search option is not working in setting
apps in iPhone. This is bit annoying issue is same backup is working fine with
older iPhone that user had and search was working fine. This seems to be a bug
in iOS 11 and most of iPhone X users are affected by this issue.
You can't do a
search in the Settings app and if you type something in to find a setting,
nothing shows up. Even hard and soft restart to the iPhone does not seem to
help. Even the same issue reported with Spotify app as in ios 11 spotlight
search not working.

existing backup, you may change payment card, or get new virtual card with 0$

cache Settings will be erased and Search in Settings and in Spotlight will be
work again.

settings for apps installed after the reset, will not work and you may have to
reset phone again.
