How to Quickly Search For Text on the Current Web Page: Finding something specific within a long or complex web page can be frustrating, like finding a needle in a haystack. Luckily, there’s an easy way to perform an in-page search using an almost universal keyboard shortcut. Here’s how.

To search quickly within a web page (“Find In Page”), first open the page you’d like to search in your favorite web browser.

Press Ctrl+F (on Windows PC, Chromebook, or Linux system), or Command+F (on a Mac) on the keyboard. The “F” stands for “Find,” and it works in every browser.
