How do I start / run spotlight search to search for something???? :D

I think I figured it out: screen doesn't say "Spotlight", it's just the keyboard when you swipe left to right on home screen . . . . .

oh well, I have other talents: tap dancing.

If you have more info or cool suggestions, please reply and thankyou. What I'm trying to find is a deleted message and its attached photo . . . . . quasi urgent.

ThanksThanksThanks!
