Hi, back, and welcome to the forum! Good to "see" you and I hope you enjoy your visits.

Can you tell us in which app you are trying to find something? Each app works on a stand-alone basis and don't interact with others. And, some may not have a search function.

However, if you tell us in which app your are looking, someone will hopefully have that app and be able to assist you.

Oh, in Safari its pretty easy (and well done by Apple). When in Safari and at the article, tap on the search bar. Your keyboard will come up with a place to type in the search term. Like this:
