Searching word(s) on a page!
How to search for any letter(s)/word(s) on a page:
Step 1:
On your keyboard, press Ctrl+F
You will then see this:
Now type what you are looking for:
As you can see, it has found two results (view right hand side of the search bar) and has highlighted the first result.
If you also look at the scroll-bar, that has yellow markings as to which line the searched result is.
The same applies to Internet Explorer, but the search bar looks different:

Re: Searching word(s) on a page!
This is for Google Chrome only. I don't think Firefox highlights the next word(s) in the scroll bar, at least it didn't the last time I did.
I've haven't used IE in a long time, dunno if it works with that.
I cannot say that this was helpful to me, or it would help anyone else. I'm pretty sure 99% of the people on Sythe knows about it.
I like the picture of the keyboard where you showed exactly what to press and where it was. For new learners on the internet, that would help them.

You're right about FF not highlighting the next word automatically, but you can press highlight all when you use CTRL+F in Firefox, so it works all the same. Also, I feel like this should be in the internet section rather than computing.

It does work in firefox.
It should work in any browser as it's a computer function, not a browser function.

Thanks sm321!
Also, all browsers should support this function as it is like pre-coded in the backbone of computer.
