    You can search many of the apps on iPod touch, as well as Wikipedia and the web. Search an individual app, or search all the apps at once using Spotlight. Spotlight also searches the names of apps on iPod touch—if you have a lot of apps, you might want to use Spotlight to locate and open them.

    Search an individual app: Enter text in the search field.

    Search iPod touch using Spotlight: Swipe right from your first Home screen, or press the

    Home button from any Home screen. Enter text in the search field.

    Search results appear as you type. To dismiss the keyboard and see more results, tap Search. Tap an item in the list to open it. The icons let you know which apps the results are from.

    iPod touch may display a top hit for you, based on previous searches.

    Spotlight searches the following:

    ••

    Contacts—All content

    ••

    Apps—Titles

    ••

    Music—Names of songs, artists, and albums, and the titles of podcasts and videos

    ••

    Podcasts—Titles

    ••

    Videos—Titles

    ••

    Audiobooks—Titles

    ••

    Notes—Text of notes

    ••

    Calendar (Events)—Event titles, invitees, locations, and notes

    ••

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

    ••

    Reminders—Titles

    ••

    Messages—Names and text of messages

    Search the web or Wikipedia from Spotlight: Scroll to the bottom of the search results, then tap Search Web or Search Wikipedia.

    Open an app from Search: Enter all or part of the app name, then tap the app.

    Choose which items are searched, and the order they’re searched: Go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search.
