The way to bring up Spotlight search is to do a three finger flick down when
you're on the home screen. Hope that helps. Take care.

Whereas before, one only had to press the home button while on the first page

What has happened to this feature, and how does one get to the Spotlight Search

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Spotlight search is like the search box in Windows 7 when you press the

You may need to go into settings and then to general and then to spotlight and
turn some apps back on again. The same thing happened to me. It seems like
after the update it turned some things that use to come up in the spotlight
search off.

Yes, Siri does work for finding and opening any app. However, I'm often in a
setting where Cannot use Siri and would rather enter the name of the app in
spotlight search using my braille display. My issue is that this method
sometimes works, but other times it yields no results.

always add apps from the

Then you could download a few at a time and monitor any changes. In my case,

Of course there is also SIRI and as long as you know the name of the app you
want telling SIRI to open it I also find quite easy and typically faster than
bringing up spotlight search, starting to type and then finding what I want.
