The Android App won't allow me to find specific items from history (e.g. i wanna visit chatgpt.com, but all suggestions offer me chatandgo VENEZIA when typing chat) and delete them. There's no way I can scroll so much history just to find specific items to delete. Method for deleting all history or for last hour makes no sense. See the attachment. Thank you.

This is a new issue, starting yesterday, 09-30-2025. When I went to delete some (NOT all) websites in my browsing history, and after using the X to remove said websites, and then when that didnt work, I pressed on the website & hit the delete tab... thinking I had deleted all I had wanted deleted, then went back into my history to make sure they were removed, and I discovered that ALL of my "deletions" were back, and, in fact had "children". There are over 180 deletions that are back in my history. They keep growing! I've tried 5 different times to delete those that I longer want in my history to no avail. What has happened here? Thank you for your assistance with this frustrating issue.
