//Once users begin filling their iPads with apps, it is sometimes difficult to find an app efficiently--especially if utilizing folders and all of the available 11 screens/pages on the iPad. Spotlight search allows the user to quickly find an app, a particular contact, or any other "searachable" item on the iPad.//

As you begin typing, the **“spotlight search” begins returning possible items** that “match” your search term.
