Non-Steam games not showing in searchbar in Game Mode after May 7th 2024 update

Your system information

• Steam client version: May 7th update
• SteamOS version: 3.5.19
• Opted into Steam client beta?: [No]
• Opted into SteamOS beta?: [No]
• Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: [Yes]

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The searchbar at the top of the game mode screen no longer shows non-Steam games I have installed when I type in their names, and is only showing Steam games. Previously, it would search for any game, Steam or non-Steam.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Apply May 7th update and search for a non-Steam game

Hello @midnightcatwalk, you've described an issue with the Steam client instead of SteamOS as a platform, so I've transferred this issue report to the steam-for-linux issue tracker.

Found two more mentions of this issue:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1cmjboo/the_new_update_killed_my_deck/l3s3liy/

I can also report it's happening to me as well.

Should be fixed in today's steam client update. Thanks for the report.

All of my non-Steam games have disappeared since that update. Only one shows up which I had added after the update, not realizing others were missing

That’s a separate issue, which is apparently also fixed, in the beta/preview client:
