Hello,

I have an intermittent issue with the Spotlight Search; it doesn't return any results regardless of what I'm searching for. Restart the phone resolves the issue for a while, the search results become slow (3 to 6 seconds) and eventually it stop returning any results.

The phone was reset and restored from backup at the beginning of December (before 10.2); the issues started with 10.2.

Anyone else having the same issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

I deactivated all the options in the Spotlight Search settings, restarted and turned them back on.

Thanks,

(iPhone 6S)
 
Thanks for your reply; how is a server issue affecting the Spotlight Search results when the apps I'm searching for, are installed on my phone?

Also, restarting the phone fixes the issue for a day or 2, but gradually gets slower and then stops listing the apps I'm searching for.
