If y'all're enjoying a super-addictive play through of Rayman Fiesta Run, or are battling hard through Halo: Spartan Assault, Cortana (or search in general) won't load upwards should yous hit the search push. If you do happen to want to access the search functionality in Windows Phone eight.1, just double-tap the search key and you're good to go.
