Instructions are very similar to those for the iPad.
How to do a Word Search on a Safari Web Page on the iPhone You can “x” out the work for which you searched and add a new one to continue your search on the page.Ĭontinuing from here, I then checked my iPhone to see if, and how, we can do a search on individual web pages on the iPhone. You can either scroll down the page to look for other highlight OR tap a “move right” or “move left” symbol to be take to the next or previous word or phrase.Ħ – Note also: In the box on the right the word or phrase for which you searched is in a search box. To the right you will see either “no matches” or the number of matches.Ĥ – Simply tap on “Find….” and you will be back on the page with all of the words or phrases for which you searched highlighted.ĥ – Note: At the bottom of the page, on the left, there are brackets,, and a notation on the number of matches found. For this example I typed “recording.”ģ – The search gives options to go to various web pages AND as you go down the page you’ll see an “ On This Page” option, with “Find “”. You may need to do a “select all” and “cut.”Ģ – Then type your search word or phrase in that space. In the example below I had /communicating-for-seniors/how-to-easily-save-voice-recordings-and-photos-using-evernote/ġ – Tap the URL to highlight it. Open the web page on which you want to do a search for a word or phrase. I was excited to learn that, in fact, Safari web pages do have a search function within them.įollowing is what I discovered (from the Tutorial that I plan to include in my upcoming book with Interviews with Seniors Using iPads): Since so many people are using iPads, I went on a search to see if individual web pages could also be searched for specific words or phrases when using the iPad.
That is “Find” – Control>f (on Windows) Command>f on the Mac the easy way to search for a word or phrase on a web page, in a Word document and/or even in an email post. One of the most useful shortcuts is one I rarely remembered until recently. You can find them by doing a search or click on SHORTCUTS here to get a page with links to posts on this blog. In the past I’ve done several posts here on various keyboard shortcuts.
