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:<p>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<p>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.<p>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:<p>http://findinpage.blogspot.com<p>Thanks in advance for your comments,<p>Vais
You are charging $0.99 for an app that does nothing more than copy a URL to the pasteboard. I understand that you are trying to make the process of adding the bookmarklet to Safari simple, but making it free with a how-to video/tutorial would be way cooler.<p>I think your target audience (people who want in-page search) will also notice that the app is very slim on features and understand that it's simply a URL!<p>Of course, it's $0.99! Personally, I'm happy to pay that, but I think you have unnecessarily raised the barrier for entry for a lot of people, who are used getting a lot more for that price.<p>The actual bookmarklet is really cool. Nice work! It's pretty slick and does the job really well. I can think of quite a few times I will be using it :)
