Zotero search doesn't work
The search bar in the Zotero app doesn't return any results even though it did work for a while and I didn't update Zotero.
Some details:
It doesn't matter whether it is set to "title, creator, year", "All fields & tags" or "everything".
The thing I noticed is that it still searches with the first two characters I type but after I type a third I just get an empty list.
I checked the database integrity which showed no errors.

If you're trying to find something in a subcollection of the collection you're in, make sure View → Show Items from Subcollections is checked. The search bar is really just a filter of the current view, so if you don't see something with no search term entered, it won't show up with a search term either.
Regardless of that setting, you can always switch to the library root to search all items.
