There are two ways to get to the Search Function on your iPad.

SWIPE RIGHT (➔) and you will see the TODAY screen. At the very TOP you should see the SEARCH BOX.
From one of your Home Screens, TOUCH anywhere in the middle of the screen and PULL DOWN (⬇︎) and you should see the SEARCH BOX at the TOP.
