How about don't do this:

Open search in YouTube (and other apps?)
Use speech button to speak my search
Release the button a little slow. Like a split fucking second longer than my speech.
It erases everything I said and clears the search results.

Happens all the damn time. I can reproduce it on three people's Apple TV with either kind of remote. How has no one in charge not experienced this?

If you want to reproduce it very easily, stop speaking and keep holding the button down for a couple seconds. You'll get search results. Now release the button. Bam. Gone.

I can search YouTube with voice controls easily by saying “show me bla bla bla on YouTube.” It is the easiest way I’ve found so far. It bypasses the time problem in the official YouTube search if you do it from outside the YouTube search box.

Now if only it would work for Plex…

To best honest that sounds like a YouTube thing, as does it do it on any other app? If it done it on any other app with a similar feature maybe it would be Apple but if it's just YouTube maybe Google didn't integrate it correctly.

You might be right. I can't reproduce it in the Apple TV+ app.
