Spotlight in Notification Centre = Mega (L)!!!!
I would probably use it if it was there, right now I don't even touch it. I'd probably just launch apps using that actually.
Also love the idea of live widgets being on a scrollable page where spotlight was. Very clever Jare!

Ok, So you go and pitch a bitch fit about the other guy and then you lay claim to a idea you didn't come up with??
if you need a link to your old thread....https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1313988/

I'm not taking credit for either one of you guys works. I did nothing but make suggestions like everyone else.
I'm just calling you on your own BS you stared in the other thread. If you want credit for your "ideas" then you need to give credit for all of this forums "ideas" that gave you what you have now.
Keep it out of the thread, I have done so in the other users thread as well by bringing it to PM.
I see. I think the side I'm on is that I already have a habit of using the Multitasking application switcher or just hitting the home button twice with pauses in between. I think it is also because I would not like the look of it in Notification Center. Perhaps only if it blended in with Notification Center's background rather than a white round oval box. If it was as such, I would absolutely want it to be in Notification Center. For users which wouldn't, like certain apps and widgets, they should be able to remove the search bar in Settings/Notifications/In Notification Center/.
That's true...
But in 4-6 months, apple's real iOS 6 will be there.
I wonder witch one will be first
(I hope yours, I can't waith to get a nice software upgrade)
ps: I've read your think you're at 20%, how long did you worked on that 20%?
To me it seems conceptually wrong to put Spotlight in Notification Center because Spotlight has nothing to do with notifications at all.
Also, how is it easier or more convenient to swipe down, click in text box and then start typing, rather then swiping right and start typing? It's an added step. Why would putting it in Notification Center make you use it more?
Gee I don't know. How about I can access one from any place in the OS vs one that requires you to be on the home screen, and page one for that matter. It's still an extra step to hit the home button to get there than just swipe down.
Good call, I didn't think of that. So your saying it's the process of pushing the home button that makes you not use it? And still, since you'd have to click the text box to search, it would still require the same amount of gestures that it currently does. But, many apps require a double swipe down to access Notification Center, so that would still actually be more gestures then it currently requires. Also....Spotlight has nothing to do with notifications.
My idea was very similar to yours, but more along the lines of Notification Center and the "Dashboard" being customizable to cater a single persons usage needs. I think all "Widgets" should be placable in either notification center or the dashboard. With live icons, there would be no use for a weather widget, but notification center would benefit from it as "glanceable" information. I see no reason why the search bar can't exist in both places, if you are on the home screen, pushing he home button is easier, if you are in another app, the notification center is. Heck, a search bar right above the multitasking dock might make more sense. I think the idea of Noification Center is to not overly complicate it. It should provide just quick notifications.

I wont believe until it comes out. Icloud needs to be more clear and easier to understand first!

Honestly, for me it's the process of going somewhere else to get to a new app. I would consider the notification centre more of a dashboard (I want quick reply to SMS available from the notification centre). I would also place it similar to where search is in iBooks, hidden above the top and when you reveal it, you can autofocus onto spotlight. So a max of three swipes from the top and you're ready to type, same as three home button pushes, but no leaving the current app.
Btw, I've never come across an app that requires a double swipe to get to notifications, what apps do that, or is it just a lag on your device?
I think he's referring to the 'double swipe' for full screen apps? I.e. you pull down once and it brings up the handle, then you grab the handle and pull that down to get to NC.
All games I've ever played make you do this. Lots of apps do actually, even iBooks on the iPad. When you swipe down, instead of NC coming down immediately like it does on the home screen, that little bottom handle peaks down and you have to pull it down with another gesture. This is to keep people from accidentally accessing NC while using an app.
This is the normal behavior for any app running in full screen (ie no bar at the top). The first time you swipe down in shows a tab. The you swipe that down to show the notification center.
