Went searching for a certain word among a document that has a lot of text.
I know crtl F works okay. But what about online. What command would you use then. I have windows xp.

It depends on the browser but Ctrl-F works for both Firefox and IE too, I suspect for Chrome as well.

Find (Ctrl + F) DOES work in Chrome, but the search box is very subtle.
Look in the top right, rather than at the bottom like IE and FF.

Don't use Windows + F, use Ctrl + F while in a browser.

Ctrl+ F does not work in neither browsers Chrom, Firefox or Internet Explorer

All depends on what sort of document you have open in the browser, whether it is indeed searchable..

I wonder if it was an inline PDF.

Ctrl +F still brings up a search box, although it's within the pdf reader rather than browser..

I have tried various formats. A news paper/ A short story/ In a page of lengthy
Text I am looking to highlight a certain word. Ctrl+F works great off line.
My PFD reader does no come up either
