In-Depth Information
Even the smallest-capacity iPad model stores a lot of information. To
locate something quickly, go to the Home screen and swipe to the right.
(If you're in any Home screen, you can also press the Home button twice;
one press takes you to the first Home screen, and the second opens
the Spotlight screen. Don't be too quick about the two button presses,
though, or you'll open the recents list.)
Type some text into the Search field to bring up results, sorted by apps
(

). Tap the one you want to jump to. If you don't find what
you're looking for, tap the Search Web or Search Wikipedia options to
view those search results in Safari.

To quickly erase a term and start over, tap the X icon to the right of the
Search field.
Spotlight also matches app names when you search, so if you have
dozens of apps and don't want to navigate to the screen containing
the one you want, simply perform a Spotlight search to locate and launch it.
