Alhamdulillah, we've released an app update v1.30 resolving multiple issues related to search.
We noticed 40-60% of the search is performed to find a surah. So we optimised surah search to account for minor spelling variations. Now you will be able to find surahs more easily in the app by searching.
We've simplified the filter section. Now you can easily filter in which translations/tafsirs you want the search to be performed on. If you want to perform search only in translations, you can now do that easily.
We also highlighted few popular searches.
We've also improved the design and resolved few other UX issues.
We are also working on few more improvements in sha Allah. Keep us in your Duas.

We plan to work on improving the search experience in the coming days, in sha Allah.
May Allah accept the good deeds of all of us and forgive the shortcomings

Araf Mohammad Mahbub Brother, not trying to be disrespectful here but honestly, it's frustrating, Have you not ever used the App yourself? Does it not bother you that when you search "Allah" it shows Zero result? same with hundreds of common words (they exist in Sahih International). Do you still don't know why it happens? Seriously? How hard is this to figure out that the translations use those unnecessary symbols on each word, instead of Allah, it uses "Allāh" that prevents the search feature finding it when someone writes "Allah" and majority of the common words face the same issue.. which is EASILY solvable; Just replace all such words with normal English letters! It's been a year and it's just frustrating you guys haven't figured this out? I'm sorry for the rant. Just disappointed. I use this app daily to study, and sometimes I need to answer to reverts or non-Muslims about a matter, and this app prevents me to do that efficiently because I can't get to the correct ayaah on time. Please resolve this issue! JazakAllah khair! Assalam Alaikum

musfira3
Really poor search results, can't search a surah by its name not even get an ayat by typing a work(even those words which are only given in specific ayat, for example musfira I searched this word thinking it will give the ayat where it is mentioned as it is only 1 time in Quran but still) only numbers search is recognise like 12:16 & 40:25. Please improve search tool.

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu dear brothers,
We want to improve the search feature in the app. But we need your help.
Can you kindly share the following information? These will help us identify and resolve the issues better, in sha Allah.
- Your Quran app version
- Your device model and OS version
- In the search section, which translations/tafsirs have you selected for searching in?
- What are the search terms or keywords you are searching in that translation/tafsir?
- What's showing in the Search results?
- Also, a screen recording or screenshots would be helpful.
Barakallahu feekum.

The search button has not been working on my devices for some long time now.
Firstly, the search 🔎 feature of the app is one of the numerous things I benefit from from the app, especially as a student, who many times wants to see similar verses for a particular subject, etc.
Secondly, I recently noticed after the last update that I can quickly reference a verse through the search bar by typing in the Surah chapter and verse number in this format; 9:23, for example.
Other than this, any keyword in Arabic or English doesn't bring out any result. I have tried this severally, and I have downloaded, more than 10 tafaasir.
I hope you can help resolve this issue. Baaraka Allah feekum.
Jazaakumullah khayran for the great service you are doing.
- Qur'an App Version: 1.29.3
- My devices' specification:
▪️ Infinix X6819, Infinix Note 12i, Android 12.
▪️Samsung SM-G950, Samsung S8, Android 9.
- 15 Tafaasir Selected:
▪️Al-Mukhtasar fil Qur'an (Arabic)
▪️Asbabun Nuzul (Arabic)
▪️Siraj Ghareeb (Arabic Word Meanings) (Arabic)
▪️Tafseer al-Baghawee (Arabic)
▪️Tafseer ibn Katheer (Arabic)
▪️Tafseer Jalalayn (Arabic)
▪️Tafseer al-Muyassar (Arabic)

▪️Tafseer as-Sa'dee (Arabic)
▪️Mohsin Khan/Taqi-ud-Deen al-Hilaali (English)
▪️Sahih International (English)

- Even the example given in the search bar "mulk" does bring any result.
Some other keywords: Heart, قلب, يبين
- It shows nothing.

I updated my app to the latest version, 1.30.1, today, but noticed that the search function was still not working.
Upon further reflection, I realized that I had previously registered for the beta release and was using a beta version of the app. This seems to be the reason the search bar was malfunctioning on my devices.
The search feature had worked perfectly for me in the past, but it stopped functioning at some point after my app was updated to the beta version, I think.
I suspect that the issue lies specifically with the beta version, rather than the app’s search functionality as a whole.
I kindly request that this issue be addressed so that users on the beta version can utilize the search bar properly. I do not wish to encourage others to leave the beta program unnecessarily.
For me, leaving the beta program via the Google Play Store, uninstalling the app, and then reinstalling it resolved the issue. Alhamdulillah, the search bar is now functioning as it used to.
Thank you for your great and blessed work.
Baarak Allah feekum.
