What happened to the search function on ipads?

what happened to the search function on ipads?

Ok, I agree it USED TO WORK that way, swiping down from the center. Now swiping down from the center with the newest CRAP iOS 7.0.4, all that happens is the notifications tab pulls down.
I can see all the options for Spotlight Search in the General Setup, and have all of the search options enabled, but the old way (2 weeks ago) of getting the search pane DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.
Anyone have a clue where it went, or how to get it back, or enable it, or anything?  SIRI is clueless too. I say "Open Spotlight Search". She says "You don't seem to have an app named Spotlight Search"
I can tell SIRI to open one of my 150+ apps WHEN ONLINE, but if I'm flying or out of wi-fi, and want to search my iPad, I need the spotlight search pane!!!

    I used to be able to type a song title in there and an artist and it would show me my options. Now I have no Search option under Store. 
    Even when you go to the store, there is no way to search for a song.

    Hit the '''Alt''' key ''(Cmd for Mac)'' to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

    This happens. It is one of the many reasons you should always maintain backup copies.
    The maker of the app apparently does not offer it any longer.

  • What happened to the search tool?

    Where oh where has the search tool gone? Without a search feature, this forum is nearly worthless. I see a search bar at the very top, but that searches the whole Apple site. What gives?

    The hosts temporarily disabled it for performance reasons. Use Google or another external engine to perform an advanced search.

  • What happened to the search box in toolbar in PDF Reader X

    Hi,
    Can anyone help on how to get the search box to show in the toolbar as had in previous versions of reader? There dosn't seem to be option to activate it in preferances. Seems idiotic to remove it, used it lot ot search documents, etc.
    If it's been removed does anyone have link for verison 9.4?
    Thanks in advace for any help

    The workaround described here only enables the search button.
    As I understand, there is no way to still have the search box (or search field) in the toolbar.
    As others wrote, at least for me it is a fundamental feature to be able to search for something with Acrobat (Reader).
    Being able just to write the word to search, was so easy.
    So, WHY, did you remove this feature?
    For this reason, I switched back to Version 9 (wich is not easy if
    you have Acrobat Std X installed; you first have to uninstall Acrobat Std X, install Reader 9,
    and then reinstall Acrobat Std X again).
    Sorry Adobe, but this is an IMPORTANT step backwards, which is absolutely not acceptable.
    Please, never remove a core feature (I really couldn't believe it, at first, and thought I am too stupid to find the right way to enable it).

  • What happened to the task functionality in OS Maverick?

    Just upgraded to OSMaverick, and lost all my tasks in the calendar function.  Is it there and I'm just missing it, or did Apple foolishly eliminate this basic calendar function?

    You need to use Reminders instead.

    Reminders is located in your Applications folder.

  • What happened to the search engine drop down menu

    Hello,
    I am using Firefox 32.0.3. There used to be a drop down search engine menu on Firefox. Has it been removed from the latest version or is there some settings adjustment I can make to get it back? Thanks for any feedback.

    Hi brianvt, if you find the new design less productive, it is possible to switch back to the old search bar. Here's how:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''search''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' preference to switch it from true to false
    This doesn't affect the current window, but each new window you open (Ctrl+n) will have the old Search bar.

  • What happened to the search option in the Apple discussion forum?

    It's the simple things that we take for granted. Like the search option. Any info on this?

    Go to google search and in the advanced options you can limited your search to just this forum.

  • What happened to the autocomplete function  in numbers?

    In previous versions where I was entering text in a worksheet, it would offer to complete what I was typing based on previous cells.  This used to save a lot of time.  Now it seems to hav ve no memory of that and I have to type it all.

    This is just one of the very latest annoying changes that Apple have made to Numbers. Just how much of my time do Apple intend wasting when then intoduce new versions of an application. I spent a silly amount of time trying to find out how I switched on the auto complete function only to eventually discover that Apple for reasons best know to them have got rid of it.
    Has anybody discovered a workaround please?
    Feedback has been sent to Apple.

  • What happened to the mailto function in Safari 6?

    Here's my code:
    <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
    When you click on the link, rather than the user being directed to a new session in their email app with the email address in the "to" field, this just opens up a new page in Safari, which of course doesn't help anybody.
    I've poked around the internet and brought this up in different forums and have yet to come up with a bottom line.
    I've never had this problem before prior to installing Mountain Lion and being introduced to Safari 6. What do I have to do with my code to make it compatible with Safari 6?

    BTW: This is the page that inspired all of this mess: http://newhopeforyou.com/small_group_display.php?class_id=31
    I don't know what the problem could be, but I can trace it back to the installation of Mountain Lion and Safari 6. Both great pieces of technology, but this email thing is something I've got to figure out!

  • What happened to the search in the discussion forum?

    It seems we have lost the ability to "search" in the forum. Is it just my Mac or can we not search anymore?

    Greetings,
    With the popularity of the iPhone and it's related discussion areas, we have experienced heavy usage and reduced availability of Apple Discussions today. In order to improve site performance, we have temporarily disabled the following site features:
    * Search
    * Read tracking (the "blue dots")
    * Subscription emails
    We are working to restore these features as soon as possible.
    Thank you for your patience during this unprecedented and exciting period in Apple's history.
    Regards,
    Apple Discussions staff
