I've downloaded IOS 7 on my iPad 2. I can no longer see the 'find on page' function that popped up when you touched the search bar when on any web page.
Is this function gone from iOS 7, or am I just not seeing it?
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3
This function is there in the IOS7 safari.. It is bit tricky though with the unified search bar. Once you goto the webpage of your choice using safari, start typing the text in the only text bar available. As you keep typing, your search results will be grouped into Google search ( or the default search engine you setup) and 'On this Page'. You can click on any matches on the 'On this page' which will then take you to the page with search text highlighted in yellow. Also you will see a 'Find on Page' bar apearing at the bottom for any other subsequent searches.
Sorry, I meant to press the 'this solved my question' button, I don't think I can alter it now.
Thanks, I suppose that answers my question.
It is there, but in my opinion it's horrible.
When I click the search bar at the top it blanks the page I am looking at and puts bookmark icons there for no good reason that I can think of. And yes if I type a word then scroll down, at the bottom (lost under the keyboard), in no way standing out clearly from the google search results, is the option to 'find on page'.
Where has the intuitiveness of IOS gone Apple?
Not only did you disappoint me with the latest iPhones, you have made a bit of mess of iOS 7. Other than the build quality of Apple devices, I'm finding it hard to find reasons to stick with you.
Although some parts of iOS 7 look nicer, I'm not happy with it at all, my iPad 2 is considerably worse after the update, slow, glitchy, animations are not smooth.
Very disappointed.
I frequently do a Google search, then need to find my search terms on the found web page. I now have to type out the search words again, which I didn't need to do in Safari on iOS6 and is tedious!
Thanks.
I've been meaning to ask this question myself :)
Thank you so much for this! It's been driving me insane..
A free Chrome app for iOS has a very easy to use "find on this page". Its UI is similar to Safari and it uses the same base engine (webkit).
Somebody screwed up ios 7 big..not in all ways but in a significant way !
Was it Ive or Greg Christie?..
And todays news of Greg leaving due to conflict with Ive makes that ever more interesting!
I keep my fingers crossed that all these ui screw ups.. Which are numerous. .. Get resolved!
Somebody f..ed up big time !!!!
