Customizing Spotlight Search on the iPhone 5
The Spotlight Search feature is incredibly useful if you are constantly misplacing information on your device, or if you know where something is located, but it might take longer to find it manually than to simply have your phone look for it. Plus the ability to customize the locations on Spotlight Search will allow you to exclude information that is less than helpful, thereby making it much simpler to find exactly what you are looking for. Step 1: Touch the Settings icon.
Step 2: Select the General option.
Step 3: Touch the Spotlight Search option.
Step 4: You can then touch each option to add or remove it from Spotlight Search. Options with a check mark will be included when you search and options without a check mark will not be included.
You can swipe right from your first home screen to access Spotlight Search, which looks like the image below.
