Searching

You can search many of the apps on iPhone, as well as Wikipedia and the web. Search an
individual app, or search all the apps at once using Spotlight. Spotlight also searches the names
of apps on iPhone—if you have a lot of apps, you might want to use Spotlight to locate and
open them.

Search an individual app: Enter text in the search field.
Search iPhone using Spotlight: Swipe right from the first Home screen, or press the
Home button from any Home screen. Enter text in the search field.

Search results appear as you type. To dismiss the keyboard and see more results, tap Search.
Tap an item in the list to open it. The icons let you know which apps the results are from.

iPhone may display a top hit for you, based on previous searches.

Contacts—All content
