Usability Hell

Times Ive Loaded iPhone Search: ~800
Times Ive Loaded iPhone Search On Purpose: 0

This feature might be useful for some people (anyone?) - but I can’t think of any use cases when I’d want to search my whole phone?!

But thats not really the point; the problem is the search implementation breaks the iPhone’s UI.

You get to it by either swiping left or pressing the home button on your home screen. That makes it VERY easy to accidentally enter search.

Before search, doing those things had no effect. That’s good - it affirms that you’re on your home screen. By breaking that ‘no effect’ affirmation its very easy to swipe left too many times or press home before realising you’re already on your home screen.

It’s also very easy to ‘fumble swipe’ to search by accident. I do that daily.

Apple, the iPhone is obviously an amazing device - one small request; please move search to an app like any other. (EDIT - or at least give us that option pleeeeeeeease)
