Hi valem1234,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re trying to adjust some Siri Spotlight Suggestions. I’m happy to provide some steps that may help.
Change search settings
You can change the search settings to limit which apps and results appear while you're searching. To do this:
- Go to Settings > Siri & Search.
- Scroll down and select an app.
- Then tap Search, Suggestions, & Shortcuts to allow or prevent results and shortcut suggestions from showing up. When you turn this feature off, you'll have the option to select Show App. Turn this off to prevent the app from appearing in your search results.
You can also use Allow on Lock Screen to prevent an app from appearing on the Lock screen as a Siri suggestion. Learn more about Siri suggestions.
Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care.
