Swiping down from the middle on an iPad does not bring up the search bar. If I swipe down at an angle from the upper right corner, I get the search bar about one out of four tries. Otherwise, I get the control panel. Very awkward.
iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi
This is approximately where you need to swipe. Actually anywhere between icons on the home screen other than the very top of the screen works.

It could also be a good idea to use Siri to help you.
