Hi Connie, If you do the gesture with 3 fingers and you get Voiceover to say something like " app 1 of 1 center of screen" then your gesture is registering as a 3-finger single tap which announces the position of the app you are on, what it actually announces is something like this (in my example I am doing a 3-finger tap on the music appwhich happens to be on the third row of apps on my home screen and in second position from the left): Row 3, column 2, page 1 of 4, centre of screen, double tap to open If you are running a version of iOS 9, you can bring up spotlight search by either first touching any app on any home screen (excluding apps in the dock) and then swiping down with 3 fingers. You can also get to Spotlight search from your first home screen by swiping left to right with 3 fingers. Think of Spotlight search as page 0 or as a page to the left of your first home screen. If you are still on iOS 8 or earlier, you can only use the first method, i.e. touch an app on any home screen and swipe down with 3 fingers.

I tried swiping down rite and nothing happened. Swiping down I heard app 1 of 1 center of screen and I was swiping on the rite side of the screen. Swiping from left to rite says the same thing. I used an iPod 5th generation and an iPhone 4 s to try this. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

Found my full name and postcode, which was a bit more disturbing, privacy is clearly a moot point. Thanks for the tip, I'll play osme more when it's charged up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "chris" <challswor...@icloud.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, October 05, 2015 12:31 PM Subject: The loving Spotlight Hi all Until iOS 9, I never took interest in the Spotlight feature on iOS. Now it's even more powerful and smarter in most cases, I really think it's lovely now to do a global search on iOS. Why not try it for yourself by swiping with three fingers either down or to the right from the home screen.
