Search bar missing in mail app on ipad

My search bar has disappeared from within the mail app. I have tried swiping down and clicking on the date to get to the top of the screen but nothing works. If I use the search function from the home screen which will find 3 mail items , but when I click on “search in app” it just goes to one email not a list of search items. Any ideas of how to fix this?

iPad, iPadOS 14

Hello Jackie4137,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


Based on what you mentioned, your search options are not present in Mail for iPadOS. You seem to have done the right steps according to: Search for email in Mail on iPad. It is possible that there is an issue with the user interface. Try to restart the app and iPhone. For help with restarting, review: Restart your iPhone. Also see: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Make sure you have the latest version of iPadOS installed. Here's help with checking this: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


If you still have trouble you may be able to get help where you are when you Contact Apple for support and service.


Best wishes!
