New iPad can’t find Bluetooth devices.

I have a new iPad seventh generation. It can’t connect to any Bluetooth accessories. It just keeps searching. I have tried to connect several devices like a keyboard and a speaker Any ideas?

iPad mini, iOS 12

Have you put the Bluetooth devices in Pairing mode per the directions provided by the manufacturers for the devices you want to pair? If you haven't, your iPad won't see a device unless it's in pairing mode or has already been paired with the iPad. Also, if the devices you want to connect are currently paired to another device, make sure the other device is not on or near your iPad when you try to pair them to your iPad.
