Research direction

Start by locating the launcher's search feature and reproducing the slowdown after repeated searches on the affected app version. Investigate what changes as searches accumulate; the issue does not name files or tests. Done means repeated searches remain responsive, with the fix verified by a relevant test or a reproduction check.
