Is there any way to search a keyword in multiple Pages on macbook
I'm using iOS Pages app and I have several pages opened. Now, if I want to search a keyword across all different Pages (docs) available in the Pages folder, how can I do that?

Spotlight does search content as well as file names.
Here's a search result on "grep". Note the name of the Pages document, and the name of the dog, which appears once in the document in the text box below the photo.

A more interesting question, perhaps, is how are you managing to run an iOS version of Pages on a Macbook? 🤔
That aside,
You can search for a keyword in multiple documents using a Spotlight search. Click the magnifier icon at the right end of the menu bar and enter your keyword.
The search will,unless you choose a different option, include all documents accessible by the OS.
To limit the search to a single folder, see this 2009 post from Chris CA: Limit Spotlight search to a folder - Apple Community
To locate the keyword in each document, you'l need to open the individual documents and do a Find on each.

I thought that was the probable case, since you chose to post the question here in the Pages for Mac community.
The response above, and the linked discussion are both for the Mac version.

I think this way you can search filesnames having that keyword. I'm talking about keyword search in file content like a grep. Notes provide this feature and you can search file content by entering a keyword in Search bar on top right side.
Let me correct it. it's macos rather iOS :)
You could narrow the case-insensitive search to just Pages documents containing the word grep:
kind:pages grep
