Searching Safari Webpage (OS X El Capitan)

Hi,

When I type something into the website bar to find a word on the website page I'm on, unlike before downloading OS X El Capitan, nothing shows up at the bottom of the search besides recommended searches... Is there a new way of doing this??

Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Open the web page.


Press the keyboard shortcut command + F on the keyboard to show the Find bar.

Find bar will appear under the Favorites bar,


Enter first few letters of the word in the search box at the end of the bar.


Words will appear highlighted.

Once done Click "Done" button.

I wish the same...
It was so much more convenient to just use the website bar. I don't understand why Apple removed that feature with El Capitan; I thought they wanted all their operating systems to be used in the same way and you can still search a website through the address bar in iOS 9 (and yes, I know iOS devices don't have a keyboard to type cmd+f on them).
