Ctrl-F on your PHONE

Here is a idea. Why on earth in 10 years sense the first introduction of smart phones, is there still no way to search for a particular word in a webpage on your mobile phone.
Ctrl-F has been a normal function for finding specific words for decades on computers. But why is this not a standard feature on the smart phones of today. Have you ever had a webpage on your phone that you wanted to pinpoint via a particular word in the webpage? I have.

    It could be a swipe function! If there isn’t going to be a button, swipe from a corner to the middle and auto pop a search box.

    Why isn’t there a Ctrl key on the phone keyboard anyway?

    How much would​ it be for someone on freelancer to build that as an add-on or an app to replace the current key layout?

    This isn’t the same as your idea, but it’s too good to not mention. There is an app that lets you take a picture of a document and then ctrl + f it.
