Research direction

The issue names the Settings > Home Screen Widget path but no files or tests. Start by reproducing the failure on the reported Android environment and trace that Settings entry point. Done means the entry opens the widget-selection screen or applies the search widget to the home screen, as confirmed by a regression test or reproducible verification.
