Search Does Not Work in "Explore Communities" View

(#321) Bug Needs triage community search

Summary

When I try to use the search box in the Explore Communities view, the list of communities displayed does not react to my search terms. I am able to reproduce this issue on desktop (Windows 11) and Web (on iOS 26.3 and Opera GX 127.0.5778.67) with every term I tried so far. I tried both terms that I felt should match communities displayed by default (i.e., words and phrases in the names of communities displayed when the view loads) and terms that don't match any communities displayed when the view loads and the behavior is the same (the list of communities does not respond to my attempt to search).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to the Explore Communities view on desktop or Web
  2. Type some search term into the Search communities... field
  3. Hit Enter/Return

Status changed from Fixed to Needs triage
This was closed with a generic could-not-reproduce reply and was never confirmed fixed, so it is open again for triage.
