App Store Search Function Doesn’t Work

When seeking to search the App Store, I get this message

I am in a verified WiFi environment, I have done a restart, signed out and then back into my Apple account, and my iOS is updated (18.5), but the App Store search function has stopped working. Please help.

Seeing the same. Additionally seeing 'equivalent' messages when accessing links on the Costco mobile app. Starting to think that my recent attempt to initiate the 'Phone Link' mobile app and computer app (Win11) might be involved. Just a thought.

Have restarted several times, Phone Link has been deleted, iOS up to date (newest update applied since the issue first presented). No joy.
