How to Search a Website Using Safari on iPhone

How to enable Quick Website Search for Safari

First of all, let’s clarify one thing: The Quick Website Search feature is not the same as Find on Page , which you can conduct for single page on a website by going to the navigation bar and entering your search term. This guide deals with searching an entire website, including all indexed pages or pages accessible via the search function on the website.

To enable the former feature, go to your Settings , select Safari and then tap Quick Website Search to ensure that the feature is toggled on. It should be active by default, but we have to make sure in order for this guide to work properly for you.

Adding a website to your quick website search shortcuts

The smart thing about Safari is that it keeps adding websites to your search shortcuts as soon as you use the search feature on a website.

For example: Say you browse iPhone-Tricks.com for awesome iOS tutorials and news, then decide to search for a specific article by tapping the search button at the top and entering a query. As soon as the search results are loaded, Safari will remember that you have used the search feature.

From now on, you can enter the name of the website into your navigation bar and attach a search term to it, separated by a single space. This will display a “search iPhone-tricks.com for [ your search term ]” suggested result a the very top of the search suggestions. If you now tap it, Safari will execute the search using the website’s very own search engine, instead of displaying a google or bing result page.

This is pretty cool and works for wikipedia pages too, try entering “wiki” and a search term into your navigation bar.

How to Search within a Webpage in Safari iPhone?

There are plenty of iPhone apps available in App Store for content reading and curation purposes. But using the default Safari browser is the most convenient way for reading webpages. You can enable reader mode, increase/decrease font size and keep your favorites on the Start Page to make life easier. However, do you ever wonder how to search a word or phrase while reading a webpage? In this article, I will show you how you can search within a page in Safari iPhone .

Webpage Search Options Safari iPhone

There are two ways you can easily search the content in Safari. In addition, there is also an option to find pages using default search engine.

1. Search Words in a Page from Safari Address Bar

Apple calls the address bar in Safari as Smart Search Field. You can use this to find a word or phrase like the way you do in any Windows or Mac app.

Launch Safari, open your webpage and tap the address bar.

Start typing the words or phrase you want to search in the page you are reading.
When you are typing, you can see Safari showing the suggestions of matches from the current page as “On This Page (x matches)”. Tap on the “Find “your keyword”” showing below that title.

Type Word and Tap Find On This Page Option

Now, you can see Safari highlights all the matched words in the page with white label and highlights the current instance in yellow color.
Use the up or down navigation to find the next match.

Find Searched Word Highlighted in Safari iPhone

Tap on the lens icon showing before the keywords and you will see two more options – Whole Words and Match Case . Tap the required options to find the match for the whole words or match small or capital case. You can also select both options to filter your search.
When you are finished, tap “Done” to close the search and continue reading your page.

Additional Search Options in Safari iPhone

2. Using Find Selection Pop-up Toolbar

Next option is, simply tap on any word when viewing the webpage in Safari. You can also select a phrase or multiple words and tap on the selection. This will show a pop-up toolbar and tap on the right arrow till you see “Find Selection” option.

Tap that “Find Selection” option to open the search box and highlight all instances of the selected word.

If you want to search the selected text on the web, select “Search Web” option. This will open the search results for the selected text using your default search engine.

2. Search Words in Safari from Share Menu

You can search within a page using another method.

Open the page in Safari and tap on the share icon showing at the bottom.
Scroll down a bit on the sharing options and tap on “Find on Page”.

Select Find On Page Option from Share Options in Safari

This will open the search box above the keyboard and you can find the words or phrase as explained in the previous method.

3. Search Pages from Smart Search Filed

Normally, you open Google or Bing and then search a page using your keywords . You can avoid these two steps and use the Smart Search Filed (address bar) to directly search. This will show the search results from your default search engine and you can open the pages from the results. You first need to enable Smart Field Search before start using in Safari.

Tap the Settings app and then open Safari settings page.

Under “Search” section, tap “Search Engine” and set your default search engine . After that, tap on “Quick Website Search” option.

When it comes to searching within Safari on your iPhone, the search bar is your go-to tool for quickly finding websites, information, and more. Located at the top of the Safari interface, the search bar not only allows you to enter website addresses but also serves as a powerful search engine, enabling you to look up anything on the web with just a few taps.

Searching for Websites

The search bar in Safari doubles as an address bar, allowing you to enter website URLs directly. Simply tap on the search bar, and the on-screen keyboard will appear, ready for you to type in the website address. Once you've entered the URL, tap "Go" to navigate to the website. This straightforward process makes it easy to access your favorite websites or navigate to specific webpages without any hassle.

Conducting Web Searches

In addition to entering website addresses, the search bar in Safari enables you to perform web searches using your preferred search engine. By typing in keywords or phrases related to your search query and tapping "Go" or the search icon, Safari will promptly display a list of search results, allowing you to explore relevant websites and information directly from the search bar.

Utilizing Auto-Suggestions

Safari's search bar also offers auto-suggestions as you type, which can be incredibly helpful in refining your search queries. As you start typing, Safari will display suggested search terms and website addresses based on your input. This feature not only saves time but also assists in guiding your search, especially when you're unsure of the exact keywords or website addresses.

Accessing Bookmarks and History

Moreover, the search bar provides quick access to your bookmarks and browsing history. By tapping on the search bar and scrolling down, you can view your favorite bookmarks and recently visited websites, making it convenient to revisit sites you frequent or access pages you've recently viewed.

This direct method of entering website addresses enables users to quickly access their favorite sites, specific webpages, or online resources without the need for additional steps or navigation.

Smart Search Suggestions

Safari's address bar also provides smart search suggestions as you type, offering auto-completed website addresses and search terms based on your input. This feature not only saves time but also assists in accurately navigating to the desired webpages, especially when the exact website address is not readily available in your bookmarks or history.

In essence, the address bar in Safari on your iPhone is a multifaceted tool that streamlines website navigation, search functionality, and quick access to browsing history and bookmarks. Its intuitive design and integrated features empower users to effortlessly explore the web, access specific webpages, and conduct searches with precision and ease.

Using the Find on Page Feature

Safari's "Find on Page" feature is a valuable tool that allows users to locate specific terms or phrases within the content of a webpage.

Using the History and Bookmarks

Navigating through your browsing history and accessing saved bookmarks are essential aspects of efficient web browsing. Safari on your iPhone offers seamless access to your browsing history and bookmarks, allowing you to revisit previously viewed websites and quickly access your favorite online destinations.

Browsing History

Safari maintains a comprehensive record of the websites you've visited, making it convenient to revisit specific pages or track your browsing activity. To access your browsing history, follow these steps:

Tap and hold the back arrow icon at the bottom of the screen to display your browsing history.

Once you access your browsing history, you can scroll through the list of previously visited websites, making it easy to revisit specific pages without the need to re-enter the website addresses. This feature is particularly useful when you need to reference a previously viewed article, retrieve information from a past visit, or simply retrace your online footsteps.

How-To Geek

How to change the default search engine in safari on iphone or ipad.

Prefer DuckDuckGo or Bing to Google? Here's how to change your iPhone or iPad's default search engine.

Quick Links

Changing the default search engine in safari on iphone and ipad.

Safari uses Google as its default search engine out of the box, but it's not the only option. You can choose other search engines like Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo if you prefer them.

While most modern search engines can find the websites you're looking for, there are often ramifications to consider when making your selection. Google is the big player here, but you might want to select something else depending on your privacy stance. For example, DuckDuckGo pushes itself as a more private search engine, while Bing is integrated with Microsoft Rewards . Making the change in Safari on your iPhone or iPad is super simple, so long as you know where to look.

To get started, open the Settings app and tap "Safari."

Next, under the "Search" heading, tap "Search Engine."

Finally, select the search engine that you would like to use as your default when inside Safari. To select a search engine, tap it. You can choose either Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ecosia , or DuckDuckGo .

Sorry---those are the only options. Apple won't let you choose other search engines as your default. You can still navigate to those search engines in Safari and search them from their website, but that's it. The only way you'll get more options here is if Apple adds them in a future version of the iOS operating system.

There is, however, a caveat to consider here. This setting will only change the default search engine that is used when searching from within Safari. If you use Siri or Spotlight to search, they'll still use Google. It's not ideal, but Google pays a considerable amount of money to Apple every year to make this the situation we have to live with, unfortunately.

Step 2: Tap the Smart Search bar at the top (or bottom) of your safari browser, and type in the keywords you want to find on the page.

Step 3: Under the Bookmarks and History tab, select the site/bookmark you want to navigate

Step 4: Safari will present your results for the specific words selected

How to use Safari’s Share Sheet to search for a word or phrase on a Webpage

This is another way to find in page text and phrases, and its steps are:.

Step 2: Open the web page or website you want to search.

Step 3: Press the Share icon at the bottom of the screen in the form of a square with an arrow pointing out.

Step 4: Scroll down the Share options, and you will reach the Action menu containing the Find on Page tab.

Step 5: Type the text or word you want to find in the search field and press Search.

Step 6: Safari will present the first instance of the text you searched for. It will be highlighted for your ease on the webpage.

Step 7: Use up and down arrows on the current page to see successive instances of the search term.

Step 8: When finished, press Done

How to Search on Chrome webpage when using an iPhone or iPad

We have mentioned ways to search on Safari, the most popular iPhone browser. However, learning how to find on-page texts in Chrome is equally essential. This is because many iPhone users like to navigate on the chrome browser instead of Safari.

Here are the steps which can be helpful to find on page words on iPhone or iPad:

Step 1: Open the Chrome app on your Apple device.

Step 2: Press the icons with three dots which can be found at the bottom right

Step 3: Scroll down and find and tap the Find in Page tab.

Step 4: Type the text you are looking for in the search bar present on the top

Step 5: Use the up and down arrows to scroll through each instance of the text you have searched on the current page. For your ease, they will be highlighted.

Step 6: When finished, press Done

Start the Search Now

So even though iPhone and iPad don’t have a control F shortcut for finding text like Mac and Desktop, it is easy to find what you are looking for in these smaller Apple devices!

Whether you use Safari’s address bar to intelligently search a word or phrase, use the three dots (…) icon in Chrome, or use the share icon, you will eventually get the same results in all instances. It will barely take any time, and you will be able to perform a quick webpage search. It will become second nature to you the minute you use it. We hope this article was helpful and you found what you were looking for!

iOS 18 rumored to have a mysterious Safari Browsing Assistant feature

An iPhone running iOS 17

Apple is a few months away from introducing the new features it will be including in iOS 18 at WWDC 2024. As the rumor mill ramps up ahead of the event, two new features have surfaced that could improve how users browse the internet.

According to Nicolas Alvarez on X, the features are titled "Safari browsing assistant" and "Encrypted visual search." Alvarez doesn't go into detail about the features of each, but does say that they each appear to use the Private Relay infrastructure to send data to Apple.

Though actual details of the features remain unknown, the names do at least offer some hint as to what they could be.

Coming in iOS 18: - "Safari browsing assistant" - "Encrypted visual search" Both features seem to use the Private Relay infrastructure to send data to Apple (so that they don't know your IP?). — Nicols lvarez (@nicolas09F9) April 10, 2024

The Safari Browsing Assistant could is naturally linked to Safari itself, but the name may mean some sort of intelligent help could be summoned for users trying to accomplish tasks. Since Apple has been working on AI and machine learning, there's a good chance the technologies will be in play here.

The other, Encrypted Visual Search, could be an evolution of existing search systems available in its operating systems. For example, Spotlight does allow for the content of images to be found, while Visual Look Up offers more information about items detected in images.

Alvarez is uncertain as to what exactly is being changed with Encrypted Visual Search, other than "better privacy" for users. However, Visual Search has also been mentioned in visionOS , albeit not used in the software itself.

It's also entirely plausible that it could be Apple attempting to provide an image-based search system, similar to the function in Google Image Search. But, since Apple doesn't want to offer a full-blown search engine to the public just yet, this seems a little doubtful.

Other recently discovered features include Apple Maps routes , a redesign inspired by visionOS, and more home screen customizations .

Apple urges court to ignore Epic's anti-steering complaint

Apple has responded to Epic's accusation it is in contempt of court for failing to remove anti-steering measures to its liking, by insisting it's really complying with the order.

Packed with upgrades, Apple's latest M3 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM, 512GB of storage and a 10-core GPU is marked down to $1,349. AppleCare is discounted with an exclusive coupon as well, dropping the price down to $159.

Gaming and AI are in Mac's future, even with low memory capacities

Apple is continuing to insist that users can still get a lot of work done with just 8GB of memory in a Mac, while also being bullish about improving the gaming experience and AI development on the platform.

Accessory manufacturer Ugreen is shifting into a new product category, and has launched a wide range of network attached storage devices with an excellent price-to-performance ratio. Unfortunately the line ships with software that is too immature to unconditionally recommend today.

iOS 18 May Feature All-New 'Safari Browsing Assistant'

iOS 18 will apparently feature a new Safari browsing assistant, according to backend code on Apple's servers discovered by Nicolás Álvarez . MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris confirmed that the code exists, but not many details are known at this time.

Update: Álvarez has since said that iCloud Private Relay might not be related to this feature.

A browsing assistant in Safari could be one of the many new generative AI features that are rumored to be coming to the iPhone with iOS 18 later this year. There are already multiple iPhone web browsers with AI tools, such as Microsoft Edge with a GPT-4-powered Copilot and Arc Search , which can summarize web pages to provide concise information.

Álvarez also uncovered a so-called "Encrypted Visual Search" feature in the backend code on Apple's servers, but no specific details are known. MacRumors contributor Steve Moser last year discovered a new Visual Search feature for Apple's Vision Pro headset in visionOS beta code, which would allow users to copy and paste printed text from the real world into apps and more, but the feature has yet to launch. It is possible that Apple is planning to debut a more secure version of the feature. However, the code could also relate to the iPhone's existing Visual Look Up feature that can identify objects in photos and videos.

Apple is set to unveil iOS 18 during its WWDC keynote on June 10 , so we should learn more about these potential new features in a few more months.

Apple touts major 60% leap in Safari and WebKit performance

Apple’s WebKit team has published a new blog post this week detailing how they’ve made significant upgrades to Safari’s performance over the last several months. The improvements come following the debut of Speedometer 3.0 in March, described as a “major step forward in making the web faster for all.”

Back in March, Apple, Google, and Mozilla teamed up to launch the new Speedometer 3 browser benchmark. The goal of Speedometer 3 is to “create a shared understanding of web performance so that improvements can be made to enhance the user experience.”

The results provided by Speedometer 3 offer more details on how the test “captures and calculates scores, show more detailed results and introduce an even wider variety of workloads.” Apple says:

The introduction of Speedometer 3.0 is a major step forward in making the web faster for all, and allowing Web developers to make websites and web apps that were not previously possible.

Apple’s WebKit team says that it has successfully improved Safari’s Speedometer 3.0 score by ~60% between the release of Safari 17.0 in September and Safari 17.4’s release in March. These improvements, Apple says, mean that developers can build websites and web apps that are faster than ever before:

With all these optimizations and dozens more, we were able to improve the overall Speedometer 3.0 score by ~60% between Safari 17.0 and Safari 17.4. Even though individual progressions were often less than 1%, over time, they all stacked up together to make a big difference. Because some of these optimizations also benefited Speedometer 2.1, Safari 17.4 is also ~13% faster than Safari 17.0 on Speedometer 2.1. We’re thrilled to deliver these performance improvements to our users allowing web developers to build websites and web apps that are more responsive and snappier than ever.

The full blog post has a ton of technical details on the work that has been done to optimize WebKit and Safari for Speedometer 3.0.

Apple details how superfast Safari upgrades help developers make web apps bigger and faster than ever before

Safari is now faster than ever.

Apple might have finally agreed to allow things like game streaming apps into the App Store but there are still plenty of apps that are only available via web-based alternatives in Safari. Those apps need to be bigger and faster than ever before and making that possible means being at the forefront of web-based technology and performance. Safari has historically been pretty quick, especially on the iPhone, and now the team behind it has detailed some recent speed improvements.

Safari is based on the WebKit web browser engine and it's the WebKit team that has detailed some changes that have been made to the underlying technology to enable web developers to build the kinds of experiences that they wouldn't normally be able to do.

Specifically, the Apple WebKit team says that it has been able to improve performance by around 60% of late, although it did take multiple different updates to the Safari app over the course of months in order to make that happen. Regardless, the upshot is the same — Safari is now faster than ever, and that's good news for developers and users alike.

Faster than fast

According to the blog post on the WebKit website, the speed improvements were made thanks to the introduction of the Speedometer 3.0 benchmarking system which in turn allowed WebKit developers to get a better understanding of how its software performs.

Discussing the tool, the WebKit team said that "these tooling improvements allowed us to quickly identify bottlenecks" with those bottlenecks then giving the team something to aim for.

The blog post then continued to detail what Apple was able to do including building a "shared understanding of web performance so that improvements can be made to enhance the user experience."

So how successful was it? As it turns out, pretty successful. "With all these optimizations and dozens more, we were able to improve the overall Speedometer 3.0 score by ~60% between Safari 17.0 and Safari 17.4," the post explains. "Even though individual progressions were often less than 1%, over time, they all stacked up together to make a big difference." The post continued, adding that the team is " thrilled to deliver these performance improvements to our users allowing web developers to build websites and web apps that are more responsive and snappier than ever."

It's important to note that the improvements to performance when using Speedometer 3.0 don't just mean a better score for those running the tests, but rather real-world improvements that users of web apps across the world — and across Apple's platforms — can expect to be of benefit when running real apps.

It's also worth noting that outside the EU, all web browsers available for download via the best iPhone and iPad App Stores use the same WebKit browser engine at their core. That should ensure that these speed improvements will also benefit those who use other browsers on their devices, no matter which company makes them.

Exploring alternative web browsers: beyond Safari on iPhone

A pple Inc.’s standard browser for the iPhone is Safari. However, the App Store provides a plethora of other web application options. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge offer unique features. Chrome is celebrated for its synchronization capabilities, while Firefox boasts powerful privacy tools. Microsoft Edge, offers additional features like vertical tabs and an immersive reader mode – catering to a variety of user preferences. Cross-platform use is also standard with most of these browsers.

Probably the best-known alternative is Google Chrome

One notable alternative is Google Chrome — the world’s most popular internet browser. Known for its user-friendly interface, lightning-fast browsing speeds, and robust security measures, this browser tops many user preferences. Its ability to seamlessly sync bookmarks and search histories via a Google Account, host a built-in password manager, and support a vast array of custom extensions that cater to individual needs makes it particularly noteworthy. Chrome’s translation feature and regular updates ensure it remains an evolving and dynamic platform.

A newer player in the arena, Arc Search, brings artificial intelligence (AI) to the fore with its ‘Browse for Me’ feature. It emphasizes security and privacy, with no storage of browser activity or search history. The AI processes information from six different online sources to generate a personalized webpage based on user queries, thereby revolutionizing online browsing with depth and privacy.

Microsoft Edge is another competitor.

Microsoft Edge is another competitor popular among Mac and PC users who prefer its unique features like password surveillance and ad tracker blocking. It provides a private browsing option, InPrivate, which ensures no browsing history, cookies, or associated data retention. The innovative Copilot tool uses AI technology to streamline searches and promises a seamless user experience by syncing data across devices.

Another alternative is the Aloha Browser, which doubles as a web browser and a security tool. Users can enjoy an ad-free browsing environment with its integrated Adblock Plus plugin. While the browser provides a no-cost, basic version, users can unlock its complete functionality through the premium version, thus offering a versatile and high-performing tool for online navigation.
