To search for certain words on a page, use your browser’s built‑in “Find” feature, which instantly highlights all matches on the current page.

Desktop browsers

On almost any website or PDF in a browser:

  • Press Ctrl + F on Windows or Cmd + F on Mac to open a small search box.
  • Type the word or phrase you want; all matches are highlighted, and you can jump between them using the up/down arrows in the box.
  • Many browsers also show how many matches exist (for example, “3/10” for the third of ten hits).

Phones and tablets

The feature exists on mobile browsers too:

  • Android (Chrome) : Tap the three‑dot menu, then tap “Find in page,” type your word, and use the arrows to move between results.
  • iPhone/iPad (Safari) : Tap the Share icon, choose “Find on page” (or “Find on Page” in the menu), type your term, then use the arrows to navigate.
  • Matches will highlight on the page the same way as on desktop.

Extra tips

  • Use short distinct words or phrases so you do not get overwhelmed by too many hits.
  • If a site is long and you need a word anywhere on it (not just the current page), you can search the whole site with a search engine using site:example.com yourword in the search box.
