The iPad's Spotlight Search can be used to quickly load an iPad app.

With so many great apps to download on your iPad, it is easy to fill up page after page of apps. And soon, you can find yourself searching through these pages for a specific app. But did you know you can launch an iPad app even if you don't know where it is located using Spotlight Search?

You can access Spotlight Search by going to your home page (the first page of apps) and swiping from left to right. This pulls up the Spotlight Search screen, which can be used to search through your music, movies or contacts. But perhaps its best use is launching individual apps. Just type in the name of the app and it should appear at the top or near the top of the search results. Next, simply tap the app icon to launch the app.
