Visual Lookup in Photos app not working after iOS 18 Update

The letter "I" with the circle around it is still there but doesn't identify anything.

I have same issue on 15 promax iOS 18.01 in visual lookup option is not available. the i icon has no star on it. I made sure “show related content” is enabled in settings. i even disabled and reenabled and restarted phone but the visual lookup is not available for any of my photos; old and new; taken by camera or downloaded from web. any idea if this is software issue related to iOS 18.01 ?!

Works for new taken photos when language is set to English (not in Dutch - if ‘i’ is clicked there will be a search light go over the photo but the icon doesn’t change to give more information) (change of Region doesn’t make it work). Google Photos without installed Google Search works with the lens icon for all photos. So Apple has to do something…
