Search your device
With the BlackBerry Device Search app, you can search your device for files, apps, help, and more. You can also type an
Instant Actions command in the search field to perform a task quickly.
In the BlackBerry Device Search app, type a search term or an Instant Actions command.

To look for a specific type of file, you can specify categories to include in searches. For example, if you are looking for a song,
you can clear all of the categories except Music.

> Settings > Search categories.
2. To choose which categories to include in searches, turn on or off the switch.

Tip: The Extended Search category searches Internet results, cloud apps (such as Google Drive™ and Google Play™), other
apps on your device, and more. To search only the data on your device, turn off the Extended Search switch.
Do more with your search results
You can perform a variety of actions with items in your search results right in the search results screen. The actions available
to you depend on the type of item. For example, if one of the search results is an app, you can open the app directly from
the search results screen.
1. Tap a search result.
2. If necessary, tap an action.

your search results, you can turn off this feature.

> Settings.
2. Turn off the Save search history switch.
Tip: To delete an individual search result, swipe left or right on the result. To clear all of your search history permanently,
