Hi JossefPerl,

Research on a page is actually very easy. You can simply press CTRL + F to use the search feature. You should take a look at the article in the Knowledge Base on How to search the contents of the current for text or links page for more information.

Hope this helps!

  • Search for a word in a Web page

    Hello

    I have a little problem on the search in a web page.

    Without worrying to highlight what is useful in all software, how can I search for a word in a Web page?

    I mean imagine in windows, through the web page, you need to find the word "except", if you come to use the Toolbox in the browser and type except to indicate each word "except" in this page and highlight it. Is there a similar option for safari for Mac too?

    F command should do what you want. -AJ

  • How to search for a Word document in Windows 8?

    I'm stumbling around Windows 8 that came pre-loaded on my new laptop.  I ordered Windows and Excel to be included in the package.  I saved a number of documents in Word, and now I need to get these documents for a particular.  I looked on the Internet and found a lot of no-help, that is to say, 'go in search of a file'.  Excuse me, but if I could find searching a file, I could probably find out how to search for the file, Huh?  Thus,.

  • How to search for a particular word by selecting multiple text files

    Hello

    I have hundreads of text files and I need to search a particular word in these bunch of txt files.

    How do so by selecting all files and search for the word. I do not want to open each file and search for the word.

    I use Windows 7 here.

    Please suggest.

    Thank you...

    Anand

    I don't think that we are able to select the files to search, but what you can do, is have all files in a folder that is searched for.  Open a window for the folder that contains the files and use the Windows search box in the upper right of this window.  If you are looking for 'bread', enter:

    content: bread

    At the same time, if you want to restrict the search to the txt files, then enter

    content: bread ext:txt

  • How to search for words and phrases in multiple pdf documents

    Dear Sirs.

    I need to search for words AND phrases in a huge amount of PDF files (over 5000). The problem I found by using the "advanced search" is that I am able to search for single words sentences individual GOLD, but I need to combine a lot of words and multiple expressions in the same search. For example, if I need to look for instances of the word 'Florida' or 'Texas' or 'United States', I can't search for each PDF file that contains the word 'Florida' or 'Texas' or the phrase 'United States', since if I put 'word' in the search options, I will receive all the files that contain the word "Florida" or 'Texas' but also 'solidarity' or 'States' and simple words. I tried placing quotes in the words I need to research such as phrases, but it did not work. I would like to know if there is a way I can search the way I need.

    Thanks in advance.

  • How to search for files by their content?

    How can I perform a search in windows 7, where he seeks in fact the content of the files?  Let's say I had a text called "mytext.txt" document and in this file was the text 'Hello World '...  How to make windows 7 return "mytext.txt" so if I did a search for the word 'Hello '?

    Hi angry bananas.

    The default function of Windows 7 search is such that it searches the text in the file name and content; in the file properties, such as in tags and. Therefore, in your scenario once you start to type Hello, you should get mytext.txt into the search results.

    Please see these articles using Windows for more information on the search for Windows 7.

  • Please, give me an advise how to search for a number in a file xml (as3.0)

    Hello! Sorry for the troubling.

    Please, give me an advice how to search for a number in a file xml (as3.0)

    Thank you!

    My answer was based on your question to find numbers anywhere in the data to an xml file.  If you know that the data is digital data and the names of the nodes that contains this data, you do not have to check the characters and can only check numerical data using string values...

    function searchXMLFile(Event:MouseEvent):void
    {
    searchDisplay.text = "";
    var pageList:XMLList = xmlFileToSearch.receipt.number;
    searchDisplay.text = "false";
       
    for (var i: int = 0; i< pagelist.length();="">
    {

    If (pageList [i] == searchInput.text) {}
    searchDisplay.text = "true";
    }

    }
    }

    Even if you are looking for individual digital characters in the previous code that you would have always done by a false exit due having the line 'false' always cancel the real line...

    If (t.toString () .indexOf (m_sSearchTerm)! = - 1).

    {

    searchDisplay.text = "true";

    }

    searchDisplay.text = "false";  This will always overwrite the textfield

    I want to be able to search on multiple words in sql.  If someone entered in the field search for several words like "industry of corn for biofuels".
