I spent 90 minutes on the phone with Apple support last night. I restored my iPad 6th gen to factory settings then restored from backup and still no search bar either by swiping down at the middle down or from newsfeed on the left side of the screen. The Apple advisor could not find any other reference to this problem in his database. After he connected to my iPad and we did a lot of troubleshooting he could not find a solution and escalated the matter. He’s going to bring it to the attention of the engineers and call me back on Saturday with an update.

why would the search bar be in a different place on my iphone and ipad
Hello,
Is your iPhone or iPad running an older version of the system software?
Thanks so much. This was driving me crazy!
Good question
Arghh! Why would they make this so non-intuitive?
How to find the Search Bar on iPads After the Latest IOS update:
Simply place your finger at the center of the page, then pull down to find the search bar.
That simple.
The solution is that you need to swipe from the MIDDLE of the home screen downward to reveal the Spotlight search bar.
It would be very helpful if Apple documented this change!
fantastic - really been struggling to find the search on my ipad air
