//Once users begin filling their iPads with apps, it is sometimes difficult to find an app efficiently--especially if utilizing folders and all of the available 11 screens/pages on the device. Spotlight search allows the user to quickly find an app, a particular contact, or any other "searchable" item on the iPad.//

** To Begin Using Spotlight Search **

1. Turn on your device and **press the home button** to return to the “Home Page.”

2. On the main page of the home screen, **swipe to the right.** 3. The “Spotlight Search” page will open, **tap in the rounded rectangle at the top of the search page and use the on-screen keyboard** to enter your search (it can be an app, a contact, etc.)—see above at right.

4. As you begin typing, the **“spotlight search” begins returning possible items** that “match” your search term.

5. From the list of “returned matches” simply tap the one that you would like to open.
