How to remove apps from Finder search on Samsung
Take control of your app drawer search by learning how to hide distracting apps and suggestions for a cleaner, faster experience.
The search bar in your Samsung's app drawer is meant to be a shortcut, not another thing to scroll through. You tap it to find an app in a flash, but instead of a clean list, you might be greeted by a jumble of suggestions from Samsung Music, Netflix, or other apps you never intended to search.
It’s like asking a librarian for one specific book and having them enthusiastically recommend every single title in the building. Helpful in theory, but overwhelming and distracting in practice.
What if you could teach the finder exactly what you're interested in? Fortunately, the Samsung Galaxy gives you complete control to fine-tune this experience. You don't have to endure a cluttered search results page. By taking a minute to adjust a few simple settings, you can create a clean, hyper-focused search that only looks where you want it to, helping you find your target app instantly.
