With more and more people using Safari on the iPhone to browse the web for work and play, the lack of in-page search functionality is baffling. If you have ever used the "Edit → Find" feature of your regular Web browser, you must wonder why it is not available in Safari on the iPhone. I have grown tired of waiting on Apple to add it, and the existing alternatives are:

a) Install and use a totally different browser -- not an option, I love Safari b) Use one of the lame bookmarklets circa 2007 -- tried it, hated it: too buggy and no UI

So, I made my own. I went the bookmarklet route because this is the only way to add features directly to Safari. Accessing in-page search functionality is exactly 2 taps - same as the two clicks required for "Edit → Find" in traditional browsers.

I hope I have managed to pique your interest even a little bit - you can see the videos and read more about Find In Page for mobile Safari here:
