Bring back "find on page" to the browser
I really liked being able to use the "find on page" feature available with Windows Phone 7. Please bring it back, even if it is hidden deep in a menu.
This feature is now available in Windows Phone 8.

And for WP7.8?
It cannot be so that you have to buy NEW PHONE to get search in page.

This feature will return in IE10 on WP8.

This was removed? I can't believe it. Sure, I use it very seldom, but sometimes I do.

Yes, please bring it back in WP8! Not sure why you would have removed it in the first place.

Bring it back. When you are reading a large page on a 3-4" screen... it just makes sense. Hide it, do whatever it takes, but put it in.

This is a seriously frustrating thing not to have on the phone. Many web pages are long, or I might read a text document on the web, and using Find on the page makes it so much easier.

I really miss this feature also!!!! Please bring it back!!! I have no idea why it was removed -- it was such an important feature for me especially when I would try to search law-sites on the fly and look up rulings etc. It was GREAT way to scroll through thousands of different rulings and just searching by certain keywords!!
Please re-implement this, even if it is under the 'three dots'!

I really miss this feature. It saves so much time. I was truly "smoked" by an iPhone user the other day over this

Just started using a Windows phone. Can't believe this feature isn't there. And what's more, that it was actually removed?! Who could come up with such an idea? There must be secret agents for the competitors infiltrated in MS.

Why in the world would you downgrade the phone's features during an "upgrade". This feature is ESSENTIAL!

I was so sad to see this feature disappear! The other one that I really miss was the forward button. I keep accidentally pressing the back button and then having to tap the link i originally followed to get back to where I was :/
