What to know about Safari search text on iPhone
- Method I: Tap the Safari share button on a webpage → Find on Page → type your search word.
- Method II: Tap the Safari search address bar → type your search word → scroll down the suggestions, and tap Find ‘search word.’
To search the exact word on a lyrics site or find the precise keyword on a webpage, you have to rely on Safari’s search text feature. On Mac, Command + F does the job. But for Safari on iPhone or iPad, the steps are different. Here are two quick ways to search text on a website page in Safari’s mobile version.

- Tap Done to close the search screen.
Tip: If you wish to edit the search term, you may do so by tapping the existing word on the search screen.
