How to Find a Word on a Web Page

Jump directly to text on a long webpage.

Quick Answer

Press Ctrl+F, type the word or phrase, and use the arrows to move between matches.

Step by Step

  1. Open the browser and the relevant page or Settings section.
  2. Press Ctrl+F, type the word or phrase, and use the arrows to move between matches.
  3. Test the result before clearing additional data or resetting more settings.
  4. If troubleshooting, try a private window or another browser to help determine whether the problem is browser-specific.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and mobile browsers use different menu names and layouts.
  • Clearing cookies, resetting settings, or removing saved passwords can sign you out or remove conveniences, so review the selected options first.
