Research Process

​When you are researching for an assignment, how do you find the information you need?
This guide has been developed to help you define your research question, develop a search strategy and teach you how to search better online.

Two ways to find a word on a webpage on your iPad

​Method 1:
  1. Open Safari.
  2. Navigate to a website.
  3. Tap the Share button (the rectangle with an arrow) to bring up the share sheet.
  4. In the action list (bottom row of icons), swipe over if necessary and select "Find on Page."
  5. In the text bar that appears above the keyboard, enter the word or phrase that you're looking for, then press Search.
​OR
Method 2:
  1. ​Click in the Navigation Bar
  2.  enter the word or phrase that you're looking for into the navigation bar's search/URL field
  3. scroll down the page to see an "On this Page" heading
  4. Tap on the word, and you'll jump back to the web page you were just on.


If the word or phrase you are searching for is found on the webpage it will be highlighted. If it isn't there, you will see a "no matches" message. If the word or phrase appears more than once on the page, use the up and down arrows to navigate between the separate matches.
