In addition to the steps Bigwaff provided, you can simply type what you want to search for in the address bar itself. Below the search suggestions, there'll be an option that says 'Find "[input]"', which you can click to see all the matches found.

Thanks, found it!


This new layout in iOS 26 is far away from intuitiv 😡. Steve Jobs will rotate in his grave.

Also the way you get to show all open tabs is 100% Windows-BS! Without external help you would never find the short way to get there 😡.


And another thing: almost impossible to follow this discussion on an iPhone! Less than ⅓ of the screen available to reading, completely random order how replies appear 😡

On iOS Safari, locate the address bar. There should be a little icon to the left, press it. An overlay page will appear. In the bottom left corner is a little page icon with a magnifying glass. This is the Find on Page feature.

Thanks, Bigwaff! I did not know that. Even us old dogs can learn new tricks! I tried it and it works.
