Google Assistant for Search?

[melgun7]

Just hit the search button on the remote, and it now launches Google Assistance (for searching Live TV channels). I'm guessing this change occurred after one of the recent updates. To make things worse, Google Assistance doesn't even function properly. It prompts me to say what I'm searching for. Then it tells me "Hmmm...there appears to be a problem - try again later". Maybe Google assumes that my TV has a built-in microphone? Anyway, I wouldn't use this feature even if it worked. A traditional search can still be performed through the menus, but it's more cumbersome. Is there any way of reprogramming the remote control search button so that it doesn't launch Google?

If you're referring to the classic model. Yes were aware of the issue
