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.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2
Is there any way to turn off the spotlight function? I have not once ever used this and it just gets in the way.

spotlight search not working on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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?

I searched for the app "Chrome" on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. I wasn't shown the Chrome browser in the search results. However, when I search for the same app on iTunes on my mac, I can find that app. I don't want to synch my phone to my computer just to install this app.

I am experiencing strange behavior of E72 contacts application.My contacts are synchronizes via Exchange (as is email, calendar and tasks).When I enter Contacts and seach for a specific name (starting H today, but it was a different letter) no contact is found when in fact this contact exists and I can find it by scrolling thru all contacts.I find that restarting the phone solves the problem for a while.

Pretty sure I'm doing everything correctly that I did with the last phone I had (Alcatel One Touch Evolve). Am I the only one with this issue? Pardon me if a similar thread has already been posted, couldn't find the search function on the mobile version of this site (either that or it's right in front of my face) , anyway, if a similar thread has been posted, just post the link or whatever and I'll go from there.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI didn't think I'd want the google search bar w/ voice on my home screen (the widget), so I removed it, figuring a small icon was enough and that I could always add it back later. Now that I decided I do want it after all, I can't find it anywhere; seems it would be under widgets, but not that I can see. Where I can find it?
View 12 Replies View RelatedTrying to use app Map on Lumia 800 I am not able to find the search icon on the map allowing me to search for a place or business or shops etc. The only available icon is the search icon outside the map which only is used to search internet giving me a list of links which can not be connected to the map. I have tried to follow the instructions given in the manual however with no success. It all stops after launching the map. Note: This problem affects only the use of Map (Bing) and not Nokia Map or Nokia Drive. What am i doing wrong?
View 7 Replies View RelatedA month ago my 8310 Curve, v. 4.5.0.55 (Platform 2.7.0.68) service provider O2, stopped being able to search and find Contacts unless I had added them after that date. These newer Contacts have not been folded into the original Address Book, but are all in a new and alphabetised list at the end of the original Contacts list. There are no Categories assigned, no Network sync, and Content is not protected. The Contacts are in the phone, not on the SIM.
Before this, I could type in to the Address Book or the phone the first 2-3 letters of someone's name and it would take me to that contact - now it says there's no such person. So I have to scroll through the entire address book to get to who I want, and then I can call/SMS etc.
I have a brand new Blackberry Bold 9700 - just started it up. I set up synchronization with Outlook and everything went smoothly. The Device Manager log shows that Memo Pad data was transferred to the device. But I cannot find the Memo Pad Icon (or the Task icon or the Search Icon...) I've looked everywhere.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAll I did was modify my contacts settings to display contacts according to "custom settings" (instead of displaying contacts from ALL ACCOUNTS) and random contacts seemed to be ignored by the keypad lookup. When I would switch to the "Contacts" tab of the dialer and type out the name/ keyword, the same contact I was searching for WOULD be found. I even changed back to "All contacts" in the select contacts to display settings, but that didn't work.
An example of what I'm experiencing: when searching for a restaurant called "Second Grill", I would type in Grill using the keypad, and 6 other restaurants with Grill in their name popped up, but not Second Grill. When I typed in "Grill" in the contacts tab, "Second Grill" did show up as expected. Before changing the contacts settings at all, I know the lookup for Second Grill worked because I used it regularly.
I next went to Settings --> Applications --> Application manager and found 3 different "Phone" apps and cleared the cache of each one. Still didn't work. I did not try "Clear Data" for each one, as I was warned this would delete the application files (that didn't sound like what I wanted to do).
The search function isnt finding any recurring events I have synced from Outlook. When I go to the Calendar they are there. I've put the event in Name and/or text field, nothing seems to work. It will find events that have only one occurance, but not any of my birthdays. Any thoughts, another .607 issue?

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.

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

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.
