when using the Safari browser, as it quickly opens the search tool\u2014not the one where you type a browser search query. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, using it on an iPhone is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no CMD or Ctrl button on an iPhone keyboard, but there is a workaround for activating the exact search function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With similar steps, you can activate it from the search bar on your Safari browser or Chrome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is easier with PDFs, as Adobe Acrobat Reader has a dedicated search button to find words or
