Learn how to use spotlight search on your iPad Mini 2. Many apps include a search field you can type in to find something that the app knows about. With Spotlight Search, you can search all your apps at once.
Drag down the middle of any Home screen to reveal the search field. Results occur as you type; to hide the keyboard and see more results on the screen, tap Search. Tap an item in the list to open it.
You can use Spotlight Search to find and open apps, too.
Go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search. You can also change the search order.
