I am trying to get Spotlight Search to work correctly on my iPod Touch 5th Generation and iPad 2 since upgrading to IOS 8, but it does not seem to be doing searches correctly, like Apple advertises. For instance, when I type in Minecraft I get nothing. Apple advertises Spotlight should be searching on the App Store for the application, but I get nothing. This is just one example. What I do notice is that the search box, when opening Spotlight, says "Search iPod". Not sure how this feature is supposed to work and all I have to go by is Apple's website. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and assist me, please? If the iPod Touch 5th Generation or iPad 2 does not support iOS 8 Spotlight Search, then can you please let me know that as well? Any help would be appreciated.
