Mail app on iPad Air 5th Gen won't display search bar
The Mail app on my iPad Air 5th Gen won’t display a search bar so I can hunt for specific emails. Why? And how do I fix it?

Thanks! I updated the iPad (didn’t get a notice that I should, so …) and then found the magnifying glass. I guess this was another “enhancement” that wasn’t needed and nobody thought to mention, if the info was hidden under all kinds of dreck that you get when you restart and need to do something import rather than puts about learning about all the so-call improvements, most of which we could do without.
What iPadOS version is your iPad running?
On iPad OS 26, the search option is on the top right corner of the Mail app window. Tap on the magnifying glass icon to bring out the search field.
