Find Words in a Webpage or PDF

1. When you’re looking at the webpage or PDF, get a search bar by simultaneously pressing Ctrl+ f (or Option + f for Macs). The search bar will appear near the top or bottom of your browser.
2. Type in the word(s) you’re looking for.
3. As you type, the word(s) should begin to be highlighted on the page. If a word isn’t in the page, you’ll hear a beep and won’t be able to fill in any more characters in the Find box.
4. If the word(s) are there, click Next and/or Previous to search through the page.
