Android displays search differently. There isn’t a persistent search bar like what iOS does. Instead, there is usually a search icon which will open up a bar when clicked. If you click on the approximate location of the magnifying glass, does anything happen?

Search icon

After clicking the icon

I think there is a #bugs with searchbar in Android. I’ve createda new app with a list of things and I see the search option only with iphone view. It happens also in choince component
