Safari has a “Find in Page” shortcut when you type into the address bar. I would like to see Orion add this as well, since I have developed muscle memory to Safari’s shortcut.
Find in page through address bar
Vlad Yes, I can.
When I type into the address bar in Safari, it offers an option to search on the page. Orion does not have this feature, although I just found out about the favicon menu that has a “Find in Page” option while looking for Compatibility Mode (which I couldn’t find; new user here).
Orion, for comparison:

The search bar at Safari can also be used as a search bar for a specific word on a web page as shown in the figure.
This would be a great added value for Orion.
I understand it's not self-explanatory for everyone but if you want to find something quickly and efficiently it's easy if
you can just click on the search bar (not the favicon) and then search for the specific word through this bar. Just by one click. Or maybe the top bar can be customizable so that you can add icons from the favicon menu right or left from the search balk. Or just by right-clicking from the search bar that they find on the page will be getting active to avoid too many icons on the screen.
Brief Summary
Allowing a user to search in a site just like how they would in Safari.
Details:
A user would enter the search bar, enter the term they are looking for on the site and then they would scroll down in the search list to look in the site to find for example, a page from an large index

The search on the page should be accessible more quickly, for example via the search bar as integrated in Safari
With fewer clicks, the search is accessible

Sometimes by the time I locate the “find on page” button (I often mistakenly click the general-purpose overflow menu) I forget what I was searching for. It’s just for a second — no big deal — but this never happens when using the URL bar shortcut, which lets me “get the search out of my system” as soon as possible.
Why not both? I had no idea you could search from the URL bar in Safari, after 10 years of use. So discoverability is better in the current Orion implementation
Just like safari I’d like searching in the address bar to show results on the webpage
Just type search term in address bar and show “results on this page” at the bottom
