It seems that the recent PayPal Here app upgrade (ver 2.8.1) broke an important search functionality of the selling app on an Android tablet in landscape mode, specifically Samsung Tablet Tab S2 with Andoid 6.0.1. Here is a screenshot of where the problem happens.
I used to be able to tap a category button and it would display items in the category; now a tap just blinks the button and nothing.
When I choose the search option I can enter text, but the search does not respond.
I've made 3 phone calls to customer service and they claim there is no problem. I submitted a claim the Merchant Tecnical Support and no response yet.
Could someone check their app to confirm if there is a problem or not.

I have the same exact probelm. I tried removing all the categories and added a new category and a new prduct to see if that worked, it did not. The app is really hard to use without this feature working. It weems to work on other version (Windows for example). I wondr if it's some setting that I have set on the tablet? Any thoughts?

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a problem; that means is not my devices nor my app version.
I haven't heard back from PayPal since I submitted my problem.
You could phone PayPal customer service so they can log the problem with another user. When I called I talked to 2 different agents and both were unaware of the issue.
The phone call is very important.
After the phone call then go to PayPal.com/MTS (merchant technical support). At the very bottom of the page click on "Contact Support (on the footer line) nad submit a ticket for the problem.
BEFORE you create the ticket, create a new MTS account (it is separate from your regular PayPal acocunt), then log in so you can follow results.
I fogot to log in first (I forgot I had a MTS account) so I can't follow my results.
I signed into my MTS account and re-submitted the problem. Now it shows up in the My Stuff list so I follow any results.

I've submitted a tech ticket and still not reponse I just update the problem report and hope for a new reponse.
You can go to PayPal.com/mts and create a tech account and then submit your problem. Make sure you include screen captures from your tablet to show spefically what doesn't work.
Merchant Technical Support is different from PayPal and the Community. It's just for those who do merchant services, like PayPal Here.

PayPal introduced the fix last week. I got the notification since I had filed a cse with MTS. It was supposed to be a push fix, but it wasn't quite.
Here's what you need to do:
Go to Google Play store and find the PayPal Here app. There will be an option to uninstal or update. Just select the update and it happens. I think that was the process I used.
Searches do work properly now and also the categories.
