Or you can enable find as you type and just start typing, without having to press ctrl+F.

and...it won't only find from where you are down..it'll actually wrap to the page...god I hate that in IE..you look for something and don't get any results, only because you clicked 3/4s of the way down...

And Ctrl-Enter will highlight all instances of your search phrase.  Very cool.

For the first little while, I thought the Find feature was broken ... being brainwashed by the MS way of doing things, that is poping up dialogs, I expected a dialog to appear in Firefox as well! Eventually, I accidently noticed the find bar at the bottom of the browser one day >8P  ... I know, silly me ...



While it is certainly quite poweful, developers could have done a better job of alerting the user of the location of the bar ... functionality = A+, usability = C-

Totally agree, I was in the same boat as you, however it didn't take me long to find it ;)

Whoa!  I've been using Firefox for about a week now.  Very cool!  Thanks for pointing that out.

No need for Ctrl+F, just hit /

(also note that incremental find is available in VS2005)

Daniel, that only works if a input field doesn't have focus on the page. But yeah, thats easier to hit, however Ctrl-F is the sure fire way of "finding" something.
