Tap Search and type the app name

Tap the Search bar at the bottom of the drawer, then type the app name — here, “Settings”. The keyboard opens and suggestions appear.

Press Back. The keyboard slides away and the Settings result stays visible on screen — the app is found, still unopened.

Good to know

  1. This only finds the app — the video never taps the Settings icon, so the app stays unopened. Tap the icon in the results to open it.
  2. Tapping Search first shows Suggested apps and Settings topics; typing filters the list down to Searched apps.
  3. The search also matches settings pages (USB settings, More settings) — the app itself is the icon under Searched apps.
  4. Pressing Back hides the keyboard and leaves the results on screen, so you can keep reading them.
