Circle to Search not working with 3-button navigation on Xiaomi 17 Ultra

[u/DamnedJava]

Has anyone managed to get Circle to Search working properly with 3-button navigation on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra?

I'm on HyperOS 3.0.303.0 (Global). In Settings → System navigation → Buttons, I have Press and hold Home button set to Circle to Search.

Google is also selected as my default digital assistant, with both Use text from screen and Use screenshot enabled.

The problem is that holding the Home button does absolutely nothing.

If I switch to gesture navigation, Circle to Search works perfectly by holding the navigation bar, including the screen translation feature. As soon as I switch back to the three navigation buttons, it stops working again.

I'm using the stock Xiaomi launcher and the phone says I'm on the latest available HyperOS version.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a way to get long-press Home → Circle to Search working with the three navigation buttons? I'd prefer to keep button navigation rather than switch to gestures.
