To search for words on a page, the most common and effective method is to use your web browser's built-in "Find" feature:
- On Windows or Linux, press Ctrl + F.
- On Mac, press Command + F.
This opens a small search bar where you can type the word or phrase you want to find. The browser will then highlight all occurrences of that text on the page, and you can navigate through them using arrow keys or buttons in the search bar
. Alternatively, you can access the Find feature through the browser menu:
- In Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, click the three dots or lines in the top-right corner and select Find or Find in Page.
- In Safari on Mac, go to Edit > Find > Find… and enter your search term
For mobile devices:
- On iPhone Safari, tap the Share icon , then select Find on Page.
- On Chrome for iPhone or Android, tap the three dots menu and select Find in Page
For advanced users or developers, you can also use the browser's Inspect Element tool to search within the page's HTML code by opening Inspect (right-click > Inspect) and then pressing Ctrl+F or Command+F inside the developer pane
. In summary, the quickest way to search words on a page is by pressing Ctrl+F (Windows) or Command+F (Mac) and typing your search word, which works across all major browsers and devices
