Hello ElZDom,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with contacts not showing when you start typing their email address. To resolve this, go to "Learn from this App" in "Siri & Search" under Contacts in Settings and enable it. You can find other settings you can change with this resource as well: Siri Suggestions on iPad - Apple Support


"Siri Suggestions on iPad

Siri makes suggestions for what you might want to do next, such as confirm an appointment or send an email, based on your routines and how you use your apps.

For example, Siri might help when you do any of the following:

  • Glance at the Lock Screen or start a search: As Siri learns your routines, you get suggestions for just what you need, at just the right time.

  • Create email and events: When you start adding people to an email or calendar event, Siri suggests the people you included in previous emails or events.

  • Type: As you enter text, Siri can suggest names of movies, places—anything you viewed on iPad recently. If you tell a friend you’re on your way, Siri can even suggest your estimated arrival time.

  • Confirm an appointment or book a flight on a travel website: (iPad Air 2 and later) Siri asks if you want to add it to your calendar.

Turn Siri Suggestions on or off for an app

Siri Suggestions are on by default for your apps. You can turn them off or change the settings at any time.

  1. Go to Settings  > Siri & Search, then select an app.
  2. Turn settings on or off.

Change where Siri Suggestions appear

Go to Settings  > Siri & Search, then turn on or off any of the following:

  • Allow Notifications
  • Show in App Library & Spotlight
  • Show When Sharing
  • Show When Listening

Your personal information—which is encrypted and remains private—stays up to date across all your devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID. As Siri learns about you on one device, your experience with Siri is improved on your other devices. If you don’t want Siri personalization to update across your devices, you can disable Siri in iCloud settings. See Keep what Siri knows about you up to date on your Apple devices.

Siri is designed to protect your information, and you can choose what you share. To learn more, see the Siri Suggestions, Search & Privacy website."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
