History search does not return any results even though my history is being tracked

When I open the history menu and search for any term, even a term that should return a bunch of results such as; http, google, search, results, <any keyword that I just searched> no results are EVER found. My history menu shows over a year of browsing data, but when I go to search it the search always returns NOTHING. It doesn't matter what I search in the history menu search bar, I always get no results. Yes, my history is being recorded, whenever I visit a site it is immediately visible in the history menu.

Stuff I already tried: Restarting firefox (duh!) Rebooting my computer Uninstalling my extensions Trying it in Privacy Mode Help>More Troublshooting information>Places Database>Verifty Integrity showed that my DB was "sane"

However, when I create a new profile and browse a few sites and search then the history search bar does work (in that profile). Based on that I think the issue is profile specific, but I didn't change any settings in my profile that I can think of. Any ideas what could be going on?

I am using Firefox 150.0 in Linux Mint Cinnamon on a Byte. I always turn off my computer when not in use. Recently I noticed that my search history has become very truncated. Specifically, if I use an in-site search function, my searches no longer appear in my browser history; I only see the address for the site's main page. If I want to resume a search after turning off the Byte, I have to navigate to the site main page and re-enter the search parameters, then try to remember how far down in the search results I got the last time.

I realize that I can bookmark searches. But the stuff I am doing may require returning to a parameter-heavy search that I did a month ago and didn't think I would need again.

Is there some way to adjust this new, uninformative default History dialog box and see my entire browsing history again?

I am asking for this to be FIXED!!! I have ALWAYS had "Delete browser history opon close" set. However, now this latest update DISREGARDS MY SETTING and KEEPS my browser's history (shows in history tab now) ! I am OUTRAGED and ready to end my use of Firefox! So many of the recent updates IGNORE HOW and WHY we use Firefox.

I have searches from a year (or more) ago that are still popping up and I don't know why. I have done multiple clears of my entire history and individually removed old searches when they pop up - they still keep coming back.
