When I use the search on my iphone 6 and look for "newegg" why does it not show the app, the most obvious thing I would want. And the app IS installed on my iPhone. I use search as my primary means of opening an app. To be clear, this is the swipe down gesture. Other apps seem to be
"found" just fine.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 13

Thank you SO much, this solved my problem! I didn't realize it would exclude apps from the search, or give you that fine grained control. TIL. :-)
