Notifications versus search apps?

[Claghorn]

When I swipe down from the top on my M3, I want to show the notifications, but sometimes I wind up on a "search apps" screen instead. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing to wind up in search? I certainly can't detect any difference in what works and what doesn't.

If you start swiping all of the way at the top of the screen you will get the notifications, if you start swiping below the top of the screen you will get "search apps".

I wish you could disable the "search apps" feature but I can't find any way to do it.

Weird. As far I know know I've always swiped from the very top, but maybe I'm not making good contact sometimes and it doesn't notice.
