Option 1: Find a Word via Windows 10

The Chrome Find filed opens on top of the browser.
  • Enter the word you want to find into the Find field. In this example, I want to find the word “WhatsApp”.
  • When you enter the word you want to find, 2 things happen: 1, on the right side of the word, Chrome will display the number of times the word appears on the page. 2, it also highlights all the words on the page.
  • In the example below, the word appears 34 times on the page – the Find field displays 1/34 – meaning the first appearance of the word (1) is selected (and highlighted in orange background). The other appearances of the word are highlighted in yellow background.
  • To select the second appearance of the word on the page, use the downward arrow icon. You may also press the Enter key on your Keyboard. When you press enter or the arrow key, the second appearance of the word will now be selected in orange background – see the second image below.
  • When you finish, to close the Find field, press the Esc key on your keyboard or click the close button
The Esc key is on the top left of your keyboad.

Method 2: Find a Word on Firefox

  • Firefox uses similar methods as Chrome – press Ctrl + F keys on your keyboard or click the browser menu (top right of the browser) and select Find In This Page.
Firefox opens Find on the bottom left of the page.

  • When the Find box opens (bottom left of the page), enter the word you want to find on the page. Like Chrome, Firefox highlights the first appearance of the word (on Firefox, the background is green).
  • But, it also provides other search options – Highlight All, Match Case, Match Diacrilitics, Whole Words, and then it displays the number of times the word appears on the page.
To read what these options do, hover your mouse over the option.

  • To highlight all the appearances of the word, click Highlight All – the currently selected word will still be highlighted in a green background but all other appearances of the word will be highlighted in purple background.
  • To select the next appearance of the word on the page, click the down arrow button (or press the Enter key on your keyboard). The next appearance of the word will now be highlighted in green background – see the second image below.
With the second appearance selected, the word count will now display 2 of 34 matches – indicating that the second appearance is now selected.
