I can't figure out to search

I just updated all my ipads and iphones to 13.1.2. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to search for an app on my device. This says to just swipe down from the top middle of the screen: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201285


When I do that, I get the notifications screen with no search bar or search capability. If I swipe right from the home screen, I get that annoying new chunk of reminders and tips.


How the heck do I search for an app?!

Respectfully, this is not what I'm seeing. I have three ipads. Two just updated from 12.4.1 to 13.1.2, the other still has 12.4.1. With the 12.4.1 ipad, I swipe from left to right on the home screen and get, among other things, a search bar. I can type in the name of an app, Google, and see all apps that match that along with some other recommendations. On the two that just updated, if I swipe from left to right I get the new "Today" view...which I find not useful. If I do as you suggest, I get a notifications area but it does NOT have a search bar. This is the behavior on both ipads that were updated to 13.1.2.


I've tried several restarts; nothing.


I completely disabled all Siri settings, restarted, nothing.


Seems like a bug, and rather obvious one for testers to have found.
