I have the perfect example. In safari iOS, “Share” is where the “Search in the page” feature is located! Just, why?!

Oh. I’ve always used the URL/search bar. Only your post made me aware that there is also a “Search” hidden in the share-menu.

It is also in the URL/search bar, type whatever you want to find on the page instead of a website address and the bottom option will be “On this page”.

I used this option just a couple of times when I desperately needed to find something on the page. Most of the time I’m not sure where that option is, so usually I just google it right before using.
Oh wow, that’s also pretty hidden, I never noticed it
It‘s redundant placement. You can also just use the url box to search the page. Seems like a good pragmatic approach to me.
Could they also introduce some kind of page action menu? Maybe.
How do you search the page via the url box? I don’t see the option
