Safari randomly fails to search in iOS 26

Ever since upgrading to iOS26, I've experienced typing a search term into the Safari URL bar and then hitting Enter will occasionally simply not do the search. The tiny blue bar appears on the bottom of the URL field providing the illusion of loading, but no search will ever be done. To add insult to injury, when clicking the URL bar again, your search term will get erased, replacing it with whatever the previous entry was, so you need to type it in again.


This bug is driving me CRAZY!!!
