Handy Hint 76: Searching for text on a Safari page on your iPad or iPhone
Sometimes when you are looking a long web page, you need to do a search for a particular work or phrase somewhere on that web page. This is easy enough to do on a computer, but can you do such a search on your iPad's or iPhone's Safari?
Yes you can! When you have the web page up, just tap on the search/address bar an type in the text/word/phrase that you are looking for.
You will see the list of suggested matching websites appear. Instead of touching on any of these, look for the 'On This Page' area at the bottom of the list and touch on the 'Find "search-phrase"' line.

You will then see the web page appear, with yellow highlighting on the first match (in my case, 'Hong Kong'). You will also see some additional options at the bottom - choose the > (see arrow 1) to go to the next occurrence of your search phrase, or enter a different search phrase (arrow 2). When you have finished searching. touch Done at bottom right.
