Gosh, Bubble's look and feel have undergone a major change in the last update.
I don't really like the album cover oriented backgrounds so took some time getting it back to a black background. Other tweaks like rounded corners look fine and the general UI has been freshened up.
BubbleUPnP still remains the best 3rd party streaming/file-based music UI out there, in my opinion.

Has anyone found a reliable way to access Search (magnifying glass)? It seems to appear in the Library screen sometimes.
I want it back on the Now Playing screen where it belongs.

Yes, but that's only useful if you really want to disable auto-updating for Android, which I don't recommend.

MartinT scroll down the page to “How to Turn off Automatic Individual App Updates on an Android”. It’s the Individual App updates it addresses. Here’s an article on ‘How to roll back to an older version of an app on Android’. Be careful as it does not guarantee you will not lose your favorites. www.androidpolice.com/roll-back-android-app-older-version/

As I said, I like Bubble v4.0 in general, it's a good refresh.
I'd rather they fix the bug and have reported it to them.

I know how to get to Search now, and it's workable. I still hope they fix it properly.

There is a new release of Bubble which appears to fix all the bugs I know of in version 4.
4.1.1 fixed Library grid covers being of low quality fixed thumbnail file cache using much more storage than necessary and slow loading times retrieve higher quality TIDAL thumbnails (from 160×160 to 320×320) and full cover (from 750×750 to 1280×1280). High resolution cover can be displayed in full glory by long-pressing the cover in the 'Now Playing' tab
4.1 User Interface added Search Bar to More panel Search UI tweaks: at least 2 characters must be entered in the query field, for the suggestion dropdown menu to show past sucessful searches matching these characters, if any. Tapping an item in the suggestion dropdown now automatically starts searching for that entry. Tweaked suggestion dropdown entries appearance added 'Settings > Now Playing > Bigger cover in portrait' to use less padding and extend cover as much possible, up to using full screen width. This disables round corners added 'Settings > Library > (Thumbnails section) > Round corner' for disabling round corners in both the Library and Playlist tabs layout improvements for devices with smaller screens, especially for the 'Now Playing' tab removed unwanted shadows for top bar and landscape navigation rail on Android 8 devices and below fixed heavy display glitches on Android 9 devices and below fixed on tablets not using gestural navigation, immersive grid view in landscape not making the system navigation bar transparent fixed navigation rail background not being the correct color when changing device orientation to landscape from a tab other than the 'Now Playing' tab fixed a few other theming glitches
Other changes fixed clearing the Playlist tab not resetting the 'Now Playing' tab properly fixed a regression causing failure to connect to some SMB shares fixed a regression where some media sent/shared from other apps would not play removed "Exact Matches" section in 'Local and Cloud' Library search results as it could cause some problems changed thumbnail presentation for MinimServer when its indexArtwork property is used

4.1.3 added 'More > Settings > Library > Compact lists'. When enabled, increase list item density with reduced vertical padding between items and slightly smaller thumbnails. Also applies to the Playlist tab fixed failure to validate license on some Android 13 devices based on MIUI fixed recent global failure to login to TIDAL with 'null user' error fixed login to TIDAL via 'More > Settings > Local and Cloud > TIDAL > Account' not working fixed failure to play TIDAL tracks to Pioneer N50a/N70a. Faster loading of album art on the integrated display of these devices fixed Library Search not searching anymore current folder in Library tab fixed theming issue when app theme is set to dark and a WebView is involved (mostly banner ads) on Android 10 devices and below prev button in 'Now Playing', notification and widgets will now play the current track/video from the beginning if it is already playing and its elapsed time is more than 5 seconds, as this is more in line with the behavior of other media player apps. This can be changed by enabling 'More > Settings > Now Playing > Prev always play previous item' on app startup, if the 'Now Playing' tab current track is from TIDAL/Qobuz, heart icon (favorite) is not shown until a track from TIDAL/Qobuz is played or the TIDAL/Qobuz folder is browsed in the Library tab. That's for avoiding obscure favoriting bugs on renderer change. This does not apply to OpenHome renderers with own Qobuz support such as LUMIN, upmpdcli and BubbleUPnP Server increased text size in metadata dialogs on tablets fixed browsing Qobuz folders with LUMIN and upmpdcli OpenHome renderers sometimes failing with error 401 message fixed X button in notification not always visible on Android 9 and below fixed 'More' menu not working on devices with no touch in landscape (mostly Android TV) fixed corner case where track download could result in duplicated track number in filename fixed a few super obscure crashes updated some libraries used to build the app
