Just as a quick additional note, If you are using VoiceOver, you can also simply touch an icon on any home screen to move VO's focus there, and then do a three-finger flick down. This will also bring up the search dialogue.
Hope this helps and happy new year!!!

This is the same double tap and hold you do in order to move apps, but instead of waiting until you hear Voiceover say “Moving” followed by the name of whatever app you are on, you flick down immediately after the triple tone. This is a very easy and cool way to get to Spotlight search because you can do it from any home screen. You do, however, have to be on a home screen, it does not work if you are inside a folder or if focus is on an app that is in your dock. If you want to get out of Spotlight search you can either press the home key, do the scrub/back gesture or double tap on the area of the screen where Voiceover says “Dismiss Search”. That is the entire upper/middle part of the screen, only on the lower part you have the virtual keyboard and above that the search field.
