All suggestions and input is great but you can also try to Cook yourself up a yummy solution by doing the wipe cache Partition which Iknow you can find the ingredients for that 🤪
Then like cooking, sometimes it's trial and error, delete the app and try different versions, wash your dishes in between (restart) 🤙👍

I think @ctangabc might have a point that it could be Google to blame, I tried using the Edge search bar widget which is set to use Google search, no flickering at all, but keep in mind that even if it's set to dark mode, the result page is still in light mode.

I just tried something that a reddit user had posted and it worked on my Note 20 Ultra.

Go into display settings and change Motion Smoothness to Standard and screen resolution to WQHD+, reboot, then try Google search if flickering is still present or if it's gone, if it's gone, then change display settings back to 120hz and FHD and you should be good.
