Hi Ed,
Spotlight search goes far beyond just finding an app. In fact, in iOS 7 using handwriting is much easier and faster when it comes to finding apps. Spotlight search is configurable in Settings, General, it's just underneath SIRI. Here you can specify which items Spotlight search should find and they include things like apps, contacts, audio books, podcasts, music, mail, messages, voice memos, reminders, notes etc. Once you access Spotlight search and start typing something it will pull up everything in the areas you specify, e.g. you could type "sky" and it would pull up any contacts with that letter combination in their first or last name, it would pull up Skype and Skydrive under apps if you had those installed, it would pull up any songs with the word "Sky" in the title and any message and emails. It's a little bit like the Windows start menu search, but it also has options to search the Web or Wikipedia for whatever word or phrase you type.

Ed From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 2014 9:46 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Accessing Spotlight Search in iOS 7, was: Lost Messages App Hi Andy, In order to get to Spotlight search in iOS 7 you simply double tap and hold on any app or folder and as soon as you hear the triple tone you flick down. This is the same double tap and hold you do in order to move apps, but instead of waiting until you hear Voiceover say "Moving" followed by the name of whatever app you are on, you flick down immediately after the triple tone. This is a very easy and cool way to get to Spotlight search because you can do it from any home screen. You do, however, have to be on a home screen, it does not work if you are inside a folder or if focus is on an app that is in your dock. If you want to get out of Spotlight search you can either press the home key, do the scrub/back gesture or double tap on the area of the screen where Voiceover says "Dismiss Search". That is the entire upper/middle part of the screen, only on the lower part you have the virtual keyboard and above that the search field.
