[GUIDE] How to search for a word on a web page using safari with ios 7

[pr1nce]

Here's a quick guide to show you how to search a web page for a word when you're using Safari with iOS 7.

First, go to the address bar and type the word you wish to search for. For example, let's say I'm on ESPN.com, and I want to search the following article for all mentions of Missouri.

Next, scroll down to the bottom, and you'll see the number of matches found on this page. In this case, there are 4 matches. Tap on "find", and Safari will take you to the first match which is highlighted in yellow.

To go to the next match, tap the right arrow at the bottom of the page and so forth. To go back, tap the left arrow at the bottom of the page. When you're finished tap done, and that's all there is to it.

Thanks guys! It's a feature that I find handy and I think it's easier in iOS 7 because of one search bar.

Very useful feature... literally very useful feature. Had to find something on the page, but there is no CTRL+F on iOS.
