How to find a single word on a huge web page:Have you ever gone to a web site looking for some information, only to arrive at a page with thousands of words on several different subjects? It would take way too much time to read through all of that junk to find what you are looking for, if it is even there. So what do you do? Do you try to find another site and hope it is less cluttered? Perhaps, but you might as well try to find the info you came for. You can actually search for a single key word on a web page.
There are two ways of doing this trick. One way is to go to the top left corner of your web browser (Internet Explorer) and click on the EDIT menu. Then scroll down and select FIND ON THIS PAGE. When the box opens up, type in a single keyword and hit your ENTER key or click on the FIND NEXT button.
If that word is anywhere on that webpage, you will see it highlighted in blue. If this doesn't apply to what you were searching for, hit the FIND NEXT button again. It will continue to take you to the next occurrence of the word you typed in. If the word is not found on that page, it will pop up a window that says "FINISHED SEARCHING DOCUMENT" or something similar (shown below).
The other way to get to this same search box, is to hold the CONTROL key while hitting the F key. This will open the FIND box (shown above). Try it now. Hold down the "Ctrl" or CONTROL key and type the letter "F". When the FIND box opens, type in the word "find". Now hit the button and see how many times it will find that word on this page. This trick will come in handy more times that you can imagine. It is a huge time saver.
