"Icons on search bar at bottom of iPhone screen: How can I increase the number of icons?: thanks for that. I seem to recall on earlier versions of the iOS that one could have several more icons. Of course I am Old and I may be miss remembering! But thank you anyway."

You are welcome.
Excellent job troubleshooting!
Being not an option...
Recommend this to Apple:
Do your Part: These are user-to-user forums. Apple rarely reads these forums on their own time as it is. So, provide Apple with feedback on this. Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more they hear of this, the more they will know what suits their customers' needs, and what features to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing your your ideas, if you don't provide them to Apple.

Adding Items to the iPhone Dock:
You only have 4 items on the dock. However, you can make a folder that contains however may Apps you would like, and then add that to the dock.
