Why is iBooks unable to perform a proper index search?

As you can tell, iBooks can’t search for anything. Even if I copy something directly from the book and paste it into the search bar. It’s almost laughable.

The sections "Reading Now" and "Store" have disappeared from iBooks... After the last iOS update, the sections “Reading Now” and “Store” disappeared from the App without any explanation… However, if you search the articles on the Apple support portal, you always see “tap the tab Reading Now”… THERE ARE NO SUCH TAB ANYMORE… Where is it? Why did it disappear? [Edited by Moderator]

Why is the search not working in Books? Is this just me? Clicking on the "X" in the top left corner does nothing. Searching for new titles does not refresh page. I restarted the computer and was left with the same result after searching again. Any help?

Search in Pages on MacBook Pro not working. On my MacBook Pro (MacOS 13.2), when I search in Pages (12.2.1), it finds the number of occurrences and highlights them (gray box) throughout the doc, but does not jump to the first occurrence. If the displayed page has the search items, I can switch between only the occurrences that exist on that page only. I have cleared the find history, quit, and restarted with no change. I can find items normally in the same doc on my iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm be dealing with this for months.
