This feature is a lifesaver if you happen to come across a lengthy article, for example, and want to quickly skip ahead to a particular segment of the document.

Lets say I hop on over to ESPN.com to check out the latest sports news.

Here I see ESPNs splash page talking about the Red Sox playoff win.

So, to find any references to Manning, I simply double tap the URL bar in mobile Safari, which brings me to this page.

Next, I start typing my search query, in this case Manning, into the Safari search bar.

Scroll down and youll soon see a section titled On This Page lurking below.

The On This Page match indicates that there is one instance of the Manning string on the ESPN homepage.

I give it a tap and Im instantly whisked back to the area of the ESPN homepage where Manning appears.

And to make things easier to find, its conveniently highlighted in yellow.

Pretty great, right Now lets say I look for a phrase that appears multiple times across a document.

For instance, upon typing Brady into the URL bar and subsequently scrolling down, I see that there are five matches on the webpage.

I tap Find Brady and am now taken to the first instance of Brady appearing on the webpage.

To find other instances of Brady, all I have to do is tap the rightward facing arrow located at the bottom of the display and I can quickly cycle through all mentions of the search string.
