In previous iPad OS's you could find a specific word or phrase in the Safari Browser by typing what you're looking for into the Google search bar at the top of the browser. In the drop down menu the last entry was "On This Page" along with a count of how many times the item was found (or say "No matches"). Tapping on the findings would take you to each result.

With Safari on iOS 5 tapping inside the Google search bar still brings up the virtual keyboard so you can type an entry, however the keyboard now has a "Find on Page" of its own! Type what you're looking for there and it automatically finds and highlights the item. Press the forward or back button next to the search field to move around the page.

Someone had asked about searching web pages in the iPad's Safari Browser on another part of the forum, so I thought it might be nice to include it here as well. :)

Double clicking the space bar after a word/character is a shortcut for a full stop and a space.

When I hold my iPad in a certain way (portrait when I'm laying in bed) the split keyboard is really amazing. At first I was like *** I'll never use this.... I proved myself wrong!

Previously a number of us had enabled the "Secret Multitasking Gestures" on our iPads using an Xcode "hack" (w/o jailbreaking). The iOS 5 upgrade disabled the feature, allowing it only on the iPad 2 (for unknown reasons).

It took a week, but an enterprising developer has given owners of the original iPad the ability to enable multitasking gestures once again!

I've updated an earlier post about it with instructions and a video.

The skill level to enable these features is fairly basic.

I suspect the gestures feature will be enabled on the original iPad in the future, so if you're not up for it, it'll probably show up one of these days. But if you just can't wait (or are just curious) visit this thread:

I've tried doing this on my iPad 2 with ios5 but can't seem to figure it out. I'm having to manually click on every photo and can't drag accros others to more quickly select multiple. Having to click every one if I have a thousand has gotten old really fast! Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

To delete multiple pictures i.e. a full import when you are finished with it, open the album, tap the 'send to' icon at the top right to edit the images. Now instead of tapping each image individually to select it, you just need to tap one and hold it for a second for the blue check mark to appear and then drag your finger over all the other images and they will be selected too! This is a much quicker way to select hundreds of images instead of tapping each one individually. Now just tap delete all and they are gone.

If I remember correctly - this "shortcut" way to delete photos disappeared with the release/install of iOS5.

Sorry.

Unfortunately this is correct. We discussed this in another thread. :(
