What setting hides the Global Search at the top of a Model Driven App?

I've had the search bar on this Solution and at some point I changed a setting or something that caused the Search bar to disappear.  Anyone know what the setting might be that would be the cause?

Is it one of these fields on the table or something else?  I have a couple of columns that are set to display in the search results.

    Hi @damian_green23 

     

    To enable the Global Search functionality. Go to the Admin Center --> Environments --> Select the target environment --> Settings --> Features --> Turn on DataVerse Search

    Tracking and that was already turned on.

    I found this article and added a couple more tables in the mix but that didn't change anything.

    When did you turn this on? Documentation I have found said it can take up to a couple of days for large organisations.

    It's been on for more than a month.  When I first started in this app, the search box showed up and was working.  Then something happened (over the past couple of weeks) but I wasn't paying attention to what setting I changed and now it doesn't show up.

    And I haven't turned it off, so I'm pretty sure it's not indexing now.
