Where did the search ipod feature go?

Okay, updated to IOS 7.1 and I know there was a search ipod field that used to come up when you hit the home button once with an edit box and list of results, but how do I search my ipod now? When I hit the home button once, it does nothing and twice brings up this new app switcher thing to close open apps which is new to me, but nice and holding it brings up Suri that I have no idea how to use yet anyway. Did the search ipod feature totally go away or is there a certain setting or switch I need or what?

Swipe down with 3 fingers from the home screen. Your search field is now there.

Take care.

What the poster said above was basically correct. The one caveat is that you need to actually be on the home screen, not on the status line. IF you swipe with three fingers down from the stats us line, you open up Notification Center.

Hey, thanks,got it to work now. I'm in medical classes to get a license and couldn't figure out where a couple of my referenc apps disappeared to and my web-md app. I am so thrilled that I can pare an ipod with my braille sense U2 and that thing with the computer...making notes and classes so much easier. You all are a great help!
