Full Version: MAC VERSION OF [CTRL] F

What is the MAC equilavent of [CTRL] F which opens a box to search for a word on a webpage?

Also is it possible to add an html code to a web page to automatically open the search box or at least have a link to activate it.

I tried adding the yahoo web site search but it didn't even find things on that page. Not important enough to spend money on software but it should be easy.

The Mac equivalent is Command-F ... for many of the basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, etc) the keyboard equivalent uses the Command key where Windows uses the control key.

Thanks, that will help a lot. Two of the major users of the MACS here had no idea how to do it. I can't even do anything on them.

I would still like to have the search box show up on the page on its own.

Most of the free and paid search boxes you can add to a web page search the whole site and return links to full pages like a normal google search.

I just want to search the single page for the text which is a stock number.
The number is then linked to a webpage for that item.

The ctrl f or command-f does that well but it would be a little cleaner
if I could get the text search box to just be there.

I still thing there should be some simple html code to search the page for text instead of indexing the whole site and returning page links.
