Hi! After updating my iPhone 15 to iOS 18.6, spotlight search(swipe down) has been broken. When I am trying to find almost any app which have Russian name, they cannot be found. Search for English named apps works good.
Tried: all Yandex apps and Gosuslugi.

I suspect this may be due to political tensions and restrictions imposed by government agencies.
You need to have Apple perform diagnostics on your iPhone. It can be done in person at an Apple Retail Store or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also contact Apple Support and request remote diagnostics.
If you’re in the US please call 1-800-MY-APPLE or outside the US, consult the support articles below. In Canada call 1-800-263-3394

Apple doesn’t do business in Russia anymore due to sanctions against Russia.
I suspect this includes no applications from Russian developers.
These apps are still available in AppStore. Strange sanctions: apps are available but spotlight search in Russian language is banned.
Spotlight Search for Russian apps not working on iPhone 15 after iOS 18.6 update
