I’ve noticed recently (a couple of weeks) that searching for emoji via the search bar in the emoji panel seems now to be impossible in Google Board when the app does not have internet access (for privacy reasons).

The error message translates to “Emoji search data in unavailable”. It only says this when my native language/keyboard layout is selected, not on US English QWERTY. There, search works as usual

Is it something already talked about? I do not want to enable internet connection on this app because of Google telemetry (I don’t have GSF installed and use GrapheneOS)

Thanks for any bit of information/advice on this

    FUTO keyboard is actually a very good replacement. I think I stopped using it because it didn’t do correction on multiple languages at the same time. Maybe there is an option for that now

      Yep! Recently (~1 month?) they added multi language support

      I recently listened to the Dev discussing his keyboard. They mentioned better support for multiple languages so maybe it’ll work how you want it to now.
