Grafana version / OS

Ubuntu 24.04

Goal

Steps:
Added to /etc/grafana/grafana.ini:

Restarted Grafana service.

Issue
Search UI shows “Include panels” checkbox.
But searching for known panel titles returns no results (not even dashboards containing them).

Expected
Search should return panel titles (worked fine on v11.4):

Logs / Errors
No UI errors.
Logs only show normal dashboard re-indexing.

Docs followed
Grafana Docs: Search dashboards and folders | Grafana documentation

Notes
Worked in v11.4.
Broken after upgrading to v12.x.
Also reproduced on a clean v12.1.0 installation.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a bug in v12, a change in behavior, or if I have missed an extra configuration?

Thanks in advance!

It worked when I tried it locally with the latest docker image but now when trying out with the helm chart and with our Postgres database config it does not work. Could it be something else missing in my configuration?
