To answer your question: "...Thank you, Frank. <br /><br />To answer your question: "Somehow, I lost the bookmark during a sync. When I go to the App store, it says it's already installed. How do I get the bookmark back?" -- if the App store tells you that the app is already installed, I assume you have the Find In Page app on your iPad and simply lost the bookmark in Safari. If that's the case, you need to re-create the bookmark the same way you originally created it (using the Find In Page app). <br /><br />Unless I am missing something about your situation, this should solve your problem.Vaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157334696489272940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085273836351102422.post-87861763417332466182010-10-12T20:07:20.412-04:002010-10-12T20:07:20.412-04:00An absolute essential for the iPad!

When entering a search term into the prompt box, would it be possible to accept Return as the initiation indicator, instead of clicking OK? <br /><br />2. When closing, I don't think that the confirmation is necessary, & would find it more pleasant if it simply closed. (The only state to lose is one's place in a sequence of results, & it doesn't seem *that* bad to lose this…)<br /><br />Thanks for considering!Perryhttp://twitter.com/ppjtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085273836351102422.post-24452677164625681512010-08-28T08:45:03.430-04:002010-08-28T08:45:03.430-04:00Ok thanksOk thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085273836351102422.post-74503699317858599192010-08-27T12:36:41.037-04:002010-08-27T12:36:41.037-04:00"does it works on IOS4/iPh4?" - Yes, it ..."does it works on IOS4/iPh4?" - Yes, it does.Vaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157334696489272940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085273836351102422.post-10232960517398810782010-08-23T16:54:05.445-04:002010-08-23T16:54:05.445-04:00Hi!

If you open Find In Page on a PDF document, Safari *will* close down.<br /><br />On your second point, that's entirely up to the app creators - NYTimes can (and perhaps should) add search to their app, but a third-party app cannot add such a feature. The only reason Find In Page is possible in mobile Safari is because Safari is a *scriptable* app, i.e. it allows third-party scripts to be executed inside it via the bookmarklet route.Vaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157334696489272940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085273836351102422.post-30603925551583288852010-06-02T16:20:23.483-04:002010-06-02T16:20:23.483-04:00HELP, PLEASE:

You mentioned that you have ReaddleDocs - it claims to have full-text search as one of the PDF reader features in the app description on the App Store, so you shouldn't have to use my app with it. Find In Page is for webpages only, which means HTML and text - unfortunately no other media types are (or will ever be) supported. Once again, this is not for the lack of trying, but simply for technical reasons.Vaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157334696489272940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085273836351102422.post-55247582517294268572010-04-12T17:35:28.396-04:002010-04-12T17:35:28.396-04:00Thanks for the response.
