Just accidentally opened it while fumbling with my phone and realized that I have never used it.



I can understand if you have 200 apps and 10,000 songs installed on your phone, but I don't and I'm wondering how popular this actually is with people.




A poll would be appropriate, I guess.

I use it. I have 4 pages of apps so it's easier to spotlight search then search for it on my own. It's also good for searching contacts and email.

It's like a universal search for everything on your iphone, so if you're looking for a specific app, song, contact, etc, you can swipe downwards on the home screen and a search field will appear.

So it's kinda like the search function in Windows on a computer?

Rarely.  Only to search contacts and email.  I don't keep enough apps and shit on the phone to need to search those.

Used it quite a bit in digital forensics.

There was a version of IOS where deleted texts would still show in spotlight as they weren't properly cleaned during the deletion. Don't know if Apple fixed that or not yet.

I've used it a time or 2 when I wanted to find a certain song really quick.

I use it all the time. It's often the fastest way to get to something. Give it a chance.

Why would I do that when I can ask Siri?

I've always wondered the same thing.

Never used it.
