Cómo buscar dentro de una página web en Safari

Browsing the internet is closely linked to our ability to find relevant information. In an ocean of data like the web, knowing how to search accurately is essential. While browsing, we often find the need to refine our searches to get right to the point of interest. Let's see how to achieve that.

One way to refine the search on extensive pages

When using Safari, the most common way is to start by entering the search terms in the top bar. The selected search engine returns a series of results, we choose one and access the corresponding page. However, the desired information doesn't always jump out; sometimes, it's necessary to dig deeper. This is where knowing how to search within a webpage in Safari comes into play.

On our iPhone or iPad, we'll do it following these steps:

  1. Open the Safari app and navigate to the desired page.
  2. Enter the search term in the search bar, the same one we use to search the internet.
  3. In the results that appear, select "On This Page".
  4. We'll see that the first match with the searched term will be highlighted within the page.
  5. We can use the arrows at the bottom to navigate between results.

Also, notice that in the new search box that has appeared, we can perform other searches, always within the page we are on. When finished, simply tap OK to exit.

Alternatively, if we want to access the search box directly, we can, once on the page we want to search, tap the share button (square with an arrow pointing up) and then choose Search on This Page.

On the Mac, the process is very similar. Specifically, we'll do it like this:

  1. Access Safari and visit the website that interests us.
  2. Press Command (⌘) + F keys.
  3. Enter the search term in the bar that appears at the top.
  4. If necessary, navigate through the results with the arrows.
  5. When finished, press Done.

Mastering these search techniques within Safari undoubtedly significantly improves our internet browsing experience. By searching within pages, we ensure quickly finding that specific information we need.
