Apps YouTube Search not working?

[UREntranceExitNodes4Mine]

First time ever something not working for me on Apple TV 4K 2021... That is YouTube Search function. I use YouTube without a Google account, but it should have not affect YouTube search function. That function no longer works on Apple TV 4K 2021 for me. There is just a blank dark screen when I try to use YouTube Search.

Same issue as of yesterday, tried reinstalling, resetting YouTube app.

I now know it's related to blocking Google ad domains, but it only affects the YouTube App (on Apple TV, Roku, possible Fire TV, and Chromecast). It doesn't affect PC and tablet browsers. Even public DNS servers that don't block ads consider Google's ad domains to be malware domains and block them.

It’s now showing search function, it probably was server side issue YouTube fixed.

Not for me it didn't... I just get a black screen as soon as I press "Search".

Any updates on this issue?

I have the issue again it started to work for 1 day, seems like YouTube bug.

I'm now 100% certain it has something to do with blocking static.doubeclick.net domain and its canonical name domains. If you block it via Pi-Hole and/or use ad-blocking public DNS server that blocks that domain, then YouTube App Search function stops working.
