Search within a website?

Hi,
Search within a website - how do you do it in the iPad? On the MacBook Pro, you can type "Command + F" and it'll search within the page for a word. But what is the equivalent in the iPad?
I'm hoping you can do it!
Thanks,

Larry

Macbook Pro 17, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

That find feature may be be on iPad...

Do you have a keyboard dock or Apple BT keyboard you can pair???

I don't have mine with me right now...

It may work but only with a keyboard linked to it

The iCab browser offers search in a page. It also has some other features not present in Safari, such as full-screen browsing, a "scrollpad" to easily scroll very long webpages, and more. I use it on my iPhone and highly recommend it.

I don't believe it is just like the iPhone. But I could be wrong.

There is a close one to be included on iPhone OS 4 but this would be Spotlight searching wikipedia or local files.

Try [this|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11364393�] for iPad's Safari. Works fine.

If you so wish...the newly released Opera Mini app (developed for iPhone) does allow search within website as a feature... now this will run on iPad and allow you to tap the 2x button to get it to full screen...

Keep in mind the way Opera loads pages so fast is by reducing images and some cntent to fit better and load faster...so this already reduced image quality coupled with the 2x full screen may not give the best viewing for the site your on but it will solve your issue
