Your iPhone’s internal search feature is called Spotlight Search, and it is a very convenient way to search for information that is on your iPhone, but which you are having difficulty locating manually. While Spotlight Search is effective, however, certain search terms can have a lot of results, making it difficult to locate exactly what you need.
Luckily the order of your Spotlight Search results is something that you can control, so if you would like Spotlight Search to always show apps first in your results, for example, then that is something you can configure with the steps below.
