Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. There is a find on page feature within the share tab. Tap share, and it is almost at the very end, I think you have to tap the second more button to get to it. If it doesn't give the text field to type in your search the first time, tap the done button, which will be where the tabs or pages button usually is, then tap share again, and swipe left to the find on page area. You can drag this find on page feature to a more convenient place in the share dialogue, I really need to do that.

Suppose you're in Safari and the information, e.g. a phone number, is many lines or even screens down. Rather than traversing everything before you get to it, you would perform a unique gesture, e.g. a two-finger rest i.e. tap and hold in position, followed by a thumb swipe to pull up a search dialogue box. You would enter your search text and press enter (or perform a two-finger right swipe on the onscreen Braille keypad) and voila, focus is positioned at the start of your search result! Of course, you could make the feature as fancy and elaborate as you want but its very basic function should be searching for the next occurrence of the search string, and positioning focus at start of said string. What does the list think? Any comments, criticisms, any flaws in the idea, all welcome. I'm hoping once we've hammered out something we could all agree on we will then present it to Apple as a feature request.
