I have the original iPad mini and after I upgraded to iOS 9.0.1, I cannot pull up Spotlight Search by swiping right on my Home Screen. I looked over the online iOS 9 iPad manual but couldn't find anything in there that states that it's not available on the iPad Mini.
I can still bring up Spotlight Search from the top of the Home Screen but not from the right side. Any ideas on why this is happening?
iPad Mini, iOS 9.0.1
Finally, I've found someone else that's having this problem! I've searched the web for hours on this and haven't had any luck. I've got one of the original iPad Minis, also, and have tried so many different things, but no luck. I used to have the favorite contacts show up on my iPad Mini before going to iOS9. Now all I get is the search by swiping down. Nothing when swiping to the right. UGH!!
The left screen spotlight search isn't available on the mini. I'm not sure if you need a least iPad 3 or 4 and a mini 2. The only thing you're missing is the proactive asistant which I haven't used once since updating.
Ok, I just found it. Apparently my iPad Mini isn't a 2nd Generation (or later). Not that big of a deal, I guess. I do remember having the "favorite" contacts screen on my iPad Mini until upgrading to iOS 9. Apple is always taking things away that ****** people off. If they remove a feature that you must have, it kind of forces you to BUY their latest product. Total BS. 😀
Do you mean Recent's ? That was introduced in IOS 8 and most people turned thm off. Technology moves forward, not all featurs can be back datded. That's not a conspiracy that's progress. My iPad 4 doesn't have the multi-tasking fatures but ih IOS 9 it runs better then new. I'm quite pleased with th job Apple has done.
Spotlight Search will not work on iPad Mini
