Hi Yardbird and listers,
As you rightly say, the JAWS control-shift-f find function is a boon for
locating search strings in OE messages. However, in my experience, it is
enough to start with that keystroke, type in the text and press enter. It
works every time, unless I'm trying to find text in a message I'm creating.
Thanks to Bruce and Dean for explaining the different search functions.

Patricia,
I'd like to add something to Dean's generous explanation. First of all, I
use a simple Control F on the Web for any searching I want to do, and that's
that. This is how, once I learn that a certain word way down the home page,
after several screens of global navigation links, is there the stuff I'm
looking for actually begins. Or whatever, like just finding a word in a New
York times article to reread that paragraph.
One Find or Search function no one's mentions, and which I was very relieved
to learn from someone on this list, is control shift F, which I use in order
to find text within an open Outlook express message. Of course you can't use
control F, as that's an OE command to forward the message.
The one thing to be careful of when using this one is that you can't just
input a search term and hit enter. You must tab down once, then a second
time, to get to the Find Text Only option. Then hit enter, and you'll be
taken to the word or phrase you're looking for. If you were to just hit
enter after you type in the search term, the email message will simply
close.
Hope this helps.
