View 2 RepliesFor some reason, my Spotlight Search function stopped working sometime yesterday afternoon. So did the Search function on my iMessage. But the Search function on others e.g., Calendar seem fine.

iPhone 4S
Is there any way to turn off the spotlight function? I have not once ever used this and it just gets in the way.

I have been reading a thread about spotlight not working until people updated to 5.1. Well, I have the reverse problem. I updated to 5.1 a few days ago, and now I can search for everything EXCEPT words that begin with H or N. When I try that, the enlarged letters on the keyboard freeze for 10 seconds, then disappear. Although the N or H appears in the search screen, no search results appear. I have tried shutting off various programs but that does not help.

how to get iOS Spotlight to do this?
On my iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1.1, when I try to type in a string in a spotlight search using the soft keyboard, the device freezes for about 5 to 8 seconds before resuming. Usually this happens when as I am typing the search string out.

Since iOS8.1, spotlight search no longer seems to be able to find apps on my device.I have 450 apps, and have used spotlight search since it was first introduced to find apps buried in directories on various home screens. I've tried turning off all other areas spotlight search can search, leaving only applications, yet that doesn't work. Most recent iOS8.1.2 update still has this issue.

When I seach informations in contact lists with spotligh (Ex.: Address, Notes, etc.... ), it only show results of the contacts principal header, and not of the other camps (notes, address, etc...).
How to search in "spotlight" details in contacts, with base in another camps, how "notes", "address", and others?

Spotlight for me is an important way to get to contacts and applications on my iPhone and iPad. With the latest iOS 8.1.1 release, the spotlight feature on my iPhone stopped working completely and the only way to get it to work was rebooting the phone. Even after that it only worked for half an hour (tops)!! My iPad on the other hand had no issues at all.Â
After going through a lot of forums, I limited my spotlight search to contacts and applications and reboote my phone. The problem seems to have gone away and I can finally work my phone with ease.Â
Give this a try until Apple get their act together and roll out iOS 8.1.2.Â
P.S - Restarting your iPhone or your iPad is NECESSARY after you've limited your options in the spotlight menu.Â
P.S.S - I'm not sure if this will work for those with the same issue on their iPads but it's worth a try

The search function on my iphone 4s recently stopped working.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSpotlight search is no longer searching anything! I type swipe down and type and nothing happens. Hitting the search button on the keyboard hyst gives the Web and Wikipedia buttons. A reset will hopefully fix it but I was wondering if there was a quicker alternative.

New app from bigboss that disables spotlight.I've been wating for this for awhile.
View 24 Replies View RelatedHope this is the right place - this is my first post.I bought the app Kodak SmileMaker a while ago, put it on my iPod touch, then deleted it later when I needed more space.
Now a week ago, I reinstalled it directly through the touch's App store. I started using my touch for other things and didn't wait to see if it completely installed.Anyway, when I looked a bit later, the place where the icon was when it was installing, was empty.
I went back into the App store to download it again (assuming it hadn't fully installed), only to find the App store told me I'd already downloaded it and wouldn't let me download it again.
Through some coincidence, I must have searched something similar to "smile" on my spotlight searching function on the touch (ie. the screen before the home screen). There it showed up! I opened it and it worked fine.Now, I have no idea how this happened.My question is: can I do it again????Anybody?This would be brilliant! It would get rid of apps that you don't want to be anywhere on the springboard, yet you can use if you want to, because you know there on your ipod/iphone.In fact this is a great idea to develop a cheap application for, but I don't know how to do it and am not bothered about it.
But how can I do it again?
I have a jail broken 3.1.2 iphone and want one page. Is there any way to get rid of spotlight without downgrading to 2.x? I looked across the internet and the best I found was a mod to remove the spotlight icon. It is a step in the right direction, but not what I was hoping for.
View 11 Replies View RelatedWhen I use spotlight for various searches, it shows email messages which I have already deleted. Although when you select them it takes you to the folder the message was originally stored in, but the message is not there.
The messages are not in any trash folder or deleted messages folder either on the iphone itself or on the server. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's a POP account or IMAP account.
There are also a number of messages which can be read - these seem to be ones that I have written or started to write, but not actually sent (could have been saved as a draft - but again nothing in the draft folders). You get taken to and can read the full email from being selected in spotlight, but is not stored anywhere in my mail folders. I'm running the latest version of iOS 5.1.
Is there anyway to either reset the spotlight cache, or delete the cache to remove all these "deleted" emails from spotlight. I have searched many forums, but to no avail.

Is there now a way to clear the Spotlight search cache, particularly email on the iPhone?

I have this really weird repeating problem that is quite annoying. If I go to spotlight and begin to type, sometimes my iPhone thinks I'm in landscape. I took some screenshots of it. I tried restarting the phone and the problem seems to go away but comes back later. I even tried restoring a few times but the problem still comes back after a while.
How do I make this go away or is this a bug? Is anyone else seeing this or am i the only one?EDIT: Okay so I just did a fresh restore and now the problem is worse. I think I may have angered it. Now the letters are in all weird places.
Like the subject says: After I add a new contact to my iPhone through the Messages or Maps app, I can only find it in Spotlight. Yes I am looking in "All Contacts" and not a group. And as you can imagine, those contacts don't sync to my iPad or Macbook Pro. The only thing that syncs my contacts on my phone is iCloud with my Apple ID that I use for store purchases. I have an @me from my mobileme days but the contacts sync is turned off for that. I've seen boards on other sites with people that have the same issue but I have yet to find any solutions. Any ideas?

Its been a year now since I have been using C7-00. For the first time I am facing this problem. THe problem is that the contact search is not working ie, when I open the dialer and enter some numbers, the phone does not search any contacts with those alphabets.The same was working fine few days back. Just wonder what happened to it.The contact search option in the settings is switched ON.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn 8.1, you had a music icon at the top right for Cortana which basically acted as a built in Shazam to identify music. Currently the only way I know you can access that is to hit the microphone icon with Cortana so she's "listening" for you. At that point, the music icon appears in the top right.
The problem is, when I'm in my car and I hear a song on the radio, hitting that microphone turns off the music because I'm connected to my car via bluetooth. Is there a way around this?
I got my Xperia Z2 today, and I found that teh Google Now voice option doesn"t work, It looks like it's recording, even when there's no sound at all. It completely ignores me when I speak. There is no relation to my speech and the red indicator flashing. Then it goes back to "Say "Ok Google" or tap mic". In fact other voice functions such as in the google play store, or google maps, or google voice typing don't work and exhibit the same bizarre behavior. Just to find out, I tried voice functions on a third party keyboard app (Swype) which doesn't seem to work too.Â

I have done a factory reset, updated to the latest firmware, updated the apps, but still the problem persists. I suspect the hardware is to blame, not the software.
Newb with hopefully an easily answered question.Had a Droid 2 originally... you could hit the search button from within the the standard email app and search within the folder you were viewing... it would return matches on to/from/subject... useful for when you needed to find a quick email for reference.Just got a Droid 4 and am trying the same thing... but to no avail. Search always returns 0 results. I could have sworn this worked on the 4 as well, but I might be dreaming.Anyone know if this is a bug, search index issue, etc.? Would really like to have this work, if at all possible.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I got my E5 I could start typing a name of a contact and the search worked nicely. But now nothing happens as I type - it just shows the text/numbers that I have entered. I'd like to get this back as it's a really nice feature. Is there something I should be turning on/off to get this to work?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a weird problem with my E71. Occasionally the contacts search where you start typing a name and the contacts pop up filtered on the home screen just stops working. I can get it working again by disabling and reenabling the feature (by typing something and choosing options>contacts search off; then turning back on).
why it is randomly ceasing to work? It's really annoying to sometimes use it and have it not work and then have to disable and re-enable.
