Finding Text On Web Pages

Question: How can I search inside individual web pages?

Answer: Most internet users are familiar with using sites like Google or Yahoo! to search the internet. But once you've found the web page you're looking for, how do you find the specific piece of information that you need? Fortunately, Internet Explorer (as well as most web browsers) has a tool that allows you to search on just the current page.

To use the "Find-in-page" feature, click on the "Edit" menu, then click on "Find." In the white box beside the words "Find what," type in the word you're looking for and then click on the "Find Next" button - if the word exists on the page, it will be highlighted and you will be taken to it. If the word you're searching for is on the page more than once, clicking the "Find next" button again will take you to the next place where that word appears.
