Found a fix for spotlight not showing up, here it is...
Settings
General
Restrictions
Enter code to access the restrictions options
Scroll down to "Privacy" category and select "Location Services"
Then scroll all the way down to "System Services"
Find "Spotlight Suggestions" --> make sure it is turned "ON"
Also find "Popular Near Me' --> make sure it is turned "ON"
Go back to General
Select "Spotlight Search"
Turn off --> Siri and Spotlight Suggestions
Do a hard turn off of your iphone
Go back to "Spotlight Search" and turn "ON" --> Siri and Spotlight Suggestions
Exit out and try to see if the far left search page will start displaying the Siri and Spotlight suggestions. You may have to tinker with the search few times and go back and forth to this page.
I was having a couple of issues with iOS 9 beta 3 on my iPhone 5 so I reinstalled using iTunes. Afterwards, I get everything on the search screen as it should, except the News feed.
I went to try this, and realized that I have no restrictions enabled, so I had to skip that part. Followed through the process and still no fix.
However, now that I have done that, I see another anomaly: The contact "suggestions" only show 3 people across. The 4th position is blank. If I tap "show more", I see a total of 6 contacts - the rightmost column in both rows is empty.
Still lots of wonky bugs with this one. I'm really of the mind that there is no absolute rhyme or reason at this point. Maybe beta 4 will fix it.
And I am still seeing the misalignment between the title bar and the search field on this screen.
