Type the text you want to search for in the URL bar, but do not hit the Go key or Return key on the keyboard.


From the suggestion lists that Appears below the URL bar scroll t the "On This Page" section. Those are the results within the current page. Tap there, and you should get a search results control at the bottom of the screen, to navigate through the results.


Or tap the share icon , and select the "Find on Page" option there.
