Search within page as a site function or a browser function?

left close vs right, "Almost every desktop web product I know" can you give some examples? this discussion is as old as mac vs pc (since they flip their window close buttons)

I don't know if it's new in this chrome change, but the "search within pages" function doesn't work for me and/or I can't figure it out. Tapping that area or the icon in that just takes me to the top search result. 

Also: we need to resolve the left-hand versus right-hand close (X) icon, if we're talking about desktop consistency. Almost every desktop web product I know, including us, favors close icons on the right. What is the rationale for mobile taking a different path?
