iOS and iPadOS

Hello.
I am writing a book in Pages for iOs. I am using a bluetooth keyboard. How does the Pages search function work? Cannot get the hang of it. Not sure how to move to the result. Each time I double tap the text field I just end up where I don't have the search result.

Looks like the rotor is sticking in activate mode after each search, so you need to turn it to character or word after you double tap on the screen. I'm using a phone rather than an iPad, and flicking, not navigating with the keyboard commands.
For me it goes to the beginning of the line with the search term when I double tap the screen. Like I said, you need to change the rotor from activate to character or word after that to navigate. Kind of clunky, but not sure it's a bug.
