Dear Judysings,

Thanks for your helpful reply. I learned that in the earlier version of iOS (maybe iOS 10?) , one can customize the order of spotlight search. I am wondering why this good feature is removed in today’s version.

I believe this is a useful feature for many people. For example, I am a non-native English speaker, so I rely heavily on looking up new words in the built-in iOS dictionary via spotlight search. It is really convenient if the search result appears at the beginning, otherwise I have to scroll down throughout the massive result.

Thanks again for your kind help.

Best
