Google Play Store makes searching for apps harder on tablets

The Google Play Store for Android tablets has removed the search bar from its main screen and introduced a new Search tab for locating apps. This change requires an additional click for navigation compared to the previous setup. Users can double-tap the Search tab icon to quickly access the section and prompt the keyboard for faster searches. The new Search tab offers personalized suggestions, app collections, and sponsored content, but Google has not replaced the retired search bar with a smaller button for easier access.
