How to Speed Up Spotlight Search?

Postby Jacob Black » 24 May 2017 10:49

If you find searching in Spotlight on your iPhone or iPad is a little slow, you may want to consider disabling Slack indexing. Spotlight seemed to speed up once again after you tried the following methods.

A couple of things to consider: the first is that some people are experiencing terrible Spotlight performance on their iDevice. But even within TMO’s small data set of staff, we all have Slack on our iOS devices, but don’t all have this Spotlight slowdown. That means Slack indexing may or may not be the cause of the problem. If you do have the problem, disabling Slack indexing may or may not fix it.

If you are experiencing a Spotlight slowdown and have Slack, and want to disable indexing, here’s how to disable it.

Launch Settings app -> click General -> scroll down and find Slack -> switch it off. As show below:

There are some reports suggesting that this bug has been fixed in iOS 10.3.2. If you’re seeing issues with Spotlight, try this and see if it works. If you don’t have Slack installed, then update iOS (which you should always do, anyway).

Or, you can upgrade your iDevice to iOS 10.3.2 using 3uTools. http://www.3u.com/tutorial/articles/2153/3utools-makes-ios-10-3-2-available-for-users-upgrading
