Using Spotlight Search with Horizon Client

On an iOS 9 or later device, you can use Spotlight search to search for and connect to remote desktops and published applications.

When you log in to a server in Horizon Client, the remote desktops and published applications on the server are added to the Spotlight index. Only the remote desktops and published applications on the last server to which you logged in are indexed.

To use Spotlight search to find a particular remote desktop or published application, type its name or a partial name in the Spotlight search field. For example, to find the remote desktop named Win 2012 RDS Desktop, you might type Win or RDS.

To use Spotlight search to find your favorite remote desktops and published applications, type favorite in the Spotlight search field. To search for any remote desktop or published application, type vmware or horizon in the Spotlight search field.

The search results can contain up to 10 items.

To connect to a remote desktop or published application, tap its name in the search results. If you are not currently connected to the server, the Horizon Client login window appears and you can log in.
