I used to know how to do this, but I forgot

Let's say I am searching for a word - I'll use "pickle". I do a Google (or Yahoo or whatever) search for "pickle" and start checking out the results.

Some of the results are pages which are very text-heavy. How do I spot my word "Pickle" in all of the text?

I know that there is a way to highlight the words you searched for, but for the life of me, I can't remember how to do it.

I usually use Firefox or Chrome. Occasionally IE. Answers in any or all browsers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Flexichick

Hello flexichick,

Hmm.. you used to know how you say? Perhaps you are talking about the find shortcut?

CTRL + F

Works on all browsers.. even IE.. (BLEAUGH!) Lol..

Hope I could be of assistance, best regards.

Oops. Forgot to mention that I didn't mean CTRL+F (although thanks, OpenOutcome). I think there is a way to have the words highlighted....and if I was looking for "pickle juice", "pickle" would be in one color and "juice" would be in another.

Hello again,

Alright.. do you have the Google toolbar installed? Maybe you mean the highlight feature of it? Go HERE for instructions..

Is that what you mean? I'll keep guessing.

that might be it. I think I uninstalled Google toolbar

Hello,

You can check if it is uninstalled by opening Mozilla Firefox and choosing View > Toolbars

Google toolbar will be listed there if it is installed. Click it to place a check. If not, you can download it here.

Let me know

Oh, yes, that was it. Many thanks! I think the toolbar was conflicting with something and I removed it. Also, is it only for Firefox? I tried finding the settings in Chrome and IE (which I am occasionally forced to use for something), but can't find it. You'd think Chrome at least would have those features somewhere you can find them :-)

Hello,

Well, for IE you can install the toolbar as well HERE.

As for chrome, well.. I don't know. You would think you could download Google toolbar for Google chrome, but I guess you cant? Hmm. Well, if you are using Google Chrome, when you use the CTRL + F, find shortcut, search terms are automatically highlighted.. see HERE. It is a bummer though, as the google toolbar has some other nice features...

Best regards,
