Finding text on a page

⌘F — or View ▸ Find on Page… — opens the find bar under the address field, in the tab you pressed it in. The caret is already in the field: type.

the Find fieldthe page goes to a match and selects it as you type
No Resultsshown in red when there is no match
↩ or the ˅ buttonNext Match (⏎)
⇧↩ or the ˄ buttonPrevious Match (⇧⏎)
Esc or the crossClose (⎋)

After the last match the search wraps to the first, and the other way round.

What is searched

  • Case does not matter: savoia finds “Savoia”.
  • WebKit itself does the searching, as in Safari: the visible text of the page, embedded frames (iframe) included.

The bar belongs to the tab. Close it and the query stays: the next ⌘F in that tab opens the bar with the same text. In another tab the search starts with an empty field.
