How do i find an app on my iPhone but not open it. I want to move it around the home screen but when I search the app pops open. I just want to see the icon. Thanks.

Use the App Library. Swipe all the way to the right past the last Home Screen. Tap in the search field at the top. You'll then see an alphabetical listing of all of the apps on your phone. You can either swipe through or use the letters down the right side to jump to where you want. When you find the app, press and hold on the icon, and one of the options will be to move it to the Home Screen.

From the search in either spotlight or the App Library, you can drag the app icon by pressing and holding or you can press and hold, then select add to Home Screen from the pop up menu.

when I on my iphone touch the homescreen and move my finger down a bit

it shows a search field, if I type out the name of an app it will display, a groupbox called top hits

and there it will display the icon of the app I'm searching for and to the right it will display the name of the folder the app is located in.
