Did you know that you can search on a web page without using a search engine? When you are reading a long page and you want to find a specific word or phrase, use the Edit item in the browser's menu at the very top of the browser window.

  • First, click Edit and then select Find from the dropdown menu.

  • Type in the word or phrase you need to locate.

  • Click the Find or Find Next button.

  • You may have to do this several times to locate the information you need, but using Find will help you get to the information more quickly than scrolling down a very long page.
