Hi - I can reproduce on my Fedora KDE 42 device, and on a KDE Neon VM. 

Just to note as a workaround, starting to type from any other page does simultaneously navigate to the Search page, focus the Search box and begin entering the typed characters into the box.

Thanks!

It looks like it's trying to do this: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/blob/master/emojier/app/ui/CategoryPage.qml?ref_type=heads#L69-L71

But it's not working right now.

This is effectively fixed with the UI changes going into Plasma 6.5. Now there's no longer a dedicated search page; every page has a search field and it's always focused by default.

Great 👍
