Apple's default browser for iOS,, has a ton of useful features, and there's so many that it's impossible to know everything you can do to browse the web more efficiently. One you may not know about brings the Command + F keyboard shortcut right to your mobile browser so you can search for words or phrases directly on any webpage you're viewing.
Apple added this 'Find on Page' feature way back in iOS 4.2, but at that time, Safari had an independent search bar next to the URL bar. Safari was then upgraded with a unified search bar in iOS 7, but the method for finding text on a webpage remained basically the same, and it still is to this day. However, iOS 9 brought on a second, more convenient way to find terms on webpages in Safari, and we'll show you how both of these methods work right now in the latest version of iOS for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Method 1: Use the Share Sheet in Safari Go to Safari, then tap on the icon (it looks like a piece of paper with an arrow pointing up) in the menu at the bottom of the webpage (or top, if you're in landscape view).

If you don't see the menu, swipe down on the screen or tap at the very bottom of your screen (or top, if in landscape view) to bring it up. • Don't Miss: On the bottom row of activities, the one below the row of applications, swipe left until you see the 'Find on Page' icon with a magnifying glass. Tap on it, then type in whatever term you need to hunt for on the webpage. When you're done typing, the first occurrence of the term will appear highlighted in yellow on the page. Then just use the down and up arrows to navigate through the results.
To see how many results are on the page, hit the 'Search' button, which will collapse the keyboard and show you number indicators for what word is currently highlighted out of how many. To search for a new word, simply tap the search bar and type a new word or phrase in. When you are finished with your search, tap 'Done' to quit the search tool.
Making 'Find on Page' Easier to Access in the Share Sheet If you're doing a lot of searching, you aren't going to want to scroll through the share sheet to tap 'Find on Page' again and again. What you need is for 'Find on Page' to be readily available when you tap the 'Share' button. Luckily, Apple lets you customize the share sheet to do just that. There are two ways to get this done. First, simply tap and hold on 'Find on Page' in the share sheet.
The icon will lift above the others, which is your cue to drag it to a new location. I prefer it to be the first function in the list for easy access, but as long as it appears on the share sheet without you needing to scroll, you should save the same amount of time. The second way to relocate 'Find on Page' is to scroll to the end of the share sheet. Tap 'More,' then tap-and-hold the three lines next to 'Find on Page.' Drag the section to the location on the list you would like it to appear, then release.
