Searching

You can search many apps on iPod touch, including Mail, Calendar, Music, Videos, Notes, and Contacts. You can search an individual app, or search all apps at once using Search.

Go to Search: On the main Home screen, flick left to right or press the Home button.

From the Search screen, press the Home button to return to the main Home screen page.

Search iPod touch: On the Search screen, enter text in the Search field. Search results appear as you type. Tap an item in the list to open it. Tap Search to dismiss the keyboard and see more results.

Icons next to the search results show which app the results are from.

iPod touch may display a top hit for you at the top of the list, based on your previous searches. The Safari search results include options to search the web or to search Wikipedia.

App	What’s searched
Contacts	First, last, and company names
Mail	To, From, and Subject fields of all accounts (the
	text of messages isn’t searched)
Calendar	Event titles, invitees, locations, and notes
Music and Videos	Music (names of songs, artists, and albums) and
	the titles of podcasts, videos, and audiobooks
Notes	Text of notes

Search also searches the names of the native and installed apps on iPod touch, so if you have a lot of apps, you may want to use Search to locate and open apps.

Open apps from Search: Enter the app name, then tap to open the app directly from the search results.

Use the Spotlight Search setting to specify which contents are searched and the order the results are presented in. See “Spotlight Search” on page 160.
