Searching

You can search many applications on iPhone, including Mail, Calendar, iPod, Notes, 
and Contacts. You can search an individual application, or search all the applications at 
once using Spotlight.

Go to Spotlight:  From the main page of the Home screen, flick left to right.
If you’re on the main Home screen page, you can press the Home button to go to 
Spotlight. From the Spotlight page, press the Home button to return to the main 
Home screen page. You can also set iPhone to go to Spotlight when you double-click 
the Home button. See “Home” on page 147.
Search iPhone:  On the Spotlight page, enter text in the Search field. Search results 
appear automatically as you type. Tap Search to dismiss the keyboard and see more of 
the results.

Icons to the left of the search results let you know which application the results are 
from. Tap an item in the results list to open it.

First, last, and company names

To, From, and Subject fields of all accounts (the 
text of messages isn’t searched)

Event titles, invitees, and locations (notes aren’t 
searched)

Music (names of songs, artists, and albums) and 
the titles of podcasts, video, and audiobooks

Text of notes

Spotlight also searches the names of the native and installed applications on iPhone, 
so if you have a lot of applications you may want to use Spotlight as a way to locate 
and open applications.
Open applications from Spotlight:  Enter the application name, then tap to open the 
application directly from the search results.

Use the Search Results settings to choose which applications are searched and the 
order in which they’re searched. See “Home” on page 147.
