Method 4: Boost iOS 10 by Disabling Spotlight Search

Spotlight allows you to search a lot of types of content like Applications, Contacts, Music, Podcasts, Mails, Events etc., when you might use it only for contacts, applications, and music. It means that there would be overheads to index content on your device.

So uncheck the apps you don’t want to search by going to Settings > General > Spotlight Search.
