How can I use spotlight on ipad air to find docs in pages?

I was hoping the spotlight would find doc with terms (e.g. Shawl, HOA) in the title, it it doesn't seem to search that deep into apps. Is this not possible or am I missing something in settings? I would like to find all docs or PDF files in Pages or iBooks collections with the word "shawl" in the title or content.

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.4

You are not missing anything at all.


Spotlight will not find files or documents for you. You can see what you can search for using Spotlight in Settings>General>Spotlight Search. You can search for an application, but you cannot search for documents within the applications.
