ios apps disappear (iOs14)

I've been finding for maybe the last 3 or 4 months that apps that I had installed suddenly disappear and are not visible on my phone ( iPhone 11, running iOS14.6 ). When I don't see them, I go back to the App Store, search and find the app and it says. 'Open' so I open and the app runs fine. It's weird! If I don't have an internet connection at that moment, the App Store doesn't work (I get that, no problem) but it means I can't open the app. Any help welcomed?

Thank you and you are correct the App shows up from a search in the 'App Library' so that's great.


However, I always search for apps using the 'global' search and doing that brings up pretty much all my apps but there are 2 apps that don't show I that 'global search'. Maybe this was a change made with the introduction of iOS13 (that's the one that automatically grouped apps and instructed widgets). All that said I'm grateful to you.
