Filter search stopped working on my new iPhone 16 camera roll

Got the new iphone and I've always been able to keyword search in my camera album, things like "car" "cat" "tree" and get all the results. Now I search "Car" or "Cat" and receive none. Why the heck can't I anymore?? Why was that feature removed..

How long have you had the new phone? It can take a week or more for Photos to finish scanning. Scanning is fastest with good wifi, with the phone plugged in, and with it locked and left alone.
