If you are a jailbroken user and want to bring a touch of convenience to your iOS device’s spotlight search, then ClearSpotlight is just the tweak you want. This little tweak makes your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch forget all about your last Spotlight query as soon as you open one search result. This means you will have more room in that area if you are using something like ToDo Notes. If you would like to know more about ClearSpotlight, read on.
Usually what you need to do in Spotlight search is type your query in the search box, which will provide you with a list of everything present in the device related to the searched term. But when you click on the item you were looking for, the list will remain intact in the spotlight area. This could be an annoyance as you might accidentally keep launching apps present in the list. Of course, you could hit the cross button in the search box to get rid of the list, but why should you have to go through the hassle?
That’s where ClearSpotlight enters the scenario. This tweak will automatically clear the search list every time you have completed a session. The next time you navigate back to spotlight, the area will be as good as new. The tweak might not be offering you much, but then, it isn’t asking for much either as it is free. The tweak is present in the BigBoss repository of the Cydia store.
