You don’t have to turn the search field off at all. Just swipe the search field.
This is a great example of how discovery works. Before replying, I just tried swiping and it worked.
Edit: normal swiping between screens switches the search field to dots. This got me to thinking, how much of this is a discovery problem (which I’m increasingly finding harder to believe) to one of users not paying attention.
Swiping on the search field works (I had already forgotten that), but when you have a lot of pages, as I do, the feedback is much worse, as it does not expand the field to accomodate all the dots. It’s amazing what difference such small details make.
Edit: The feedback is unimportant if all you want is to swipe to one end, if course; which is what prompted this subthread.
