Hi,
Getting to this a little late. What I do to search for text on a web page is to
press CTRL + Option + F, type your search string, and then press enter. This
should take you to the first instance of your search string. To find the next
instance, press CTRL + Option + G.
Hope this helps,
Happy new year!

I’ve been playing around with this for a bit now, and I too can’t find a way
to jump to a specific result. Here are the two work arounds I’ve found.
1. Use the item chooser, VO i. This work ok if the word isn’t buried in a
huge block of text.
2. After doing an search with command f, the term is still in the search box,
meaning the find next function will work. That one is command g, finding the
next instance of the last thing you searched for.
If you know what you’re looking for is a web element, like a link of form
control you can of course usie the rotor set to each of those categories
using VO u then typing in what you’r looking for.
As always, I’m open to hearing the really simple way to do this that I just
couldn’t find.
Cheers,
Ian

Hi all
I'd like to know if there is a good way to find some text on a webpage. When
I press CMD+f I can write text into the search field. But when I press enter
I'd hope to get to the text I was searching for. Sometimes I can hear some
search results but I can't find out how to get to the actual text.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ben
