MessageYes the screen find is crap in JFW6 happens every time.  If you hit 
enter on ok though when told the string can't be found and press the f3 key 
it'll take you straight to where you wanted to go in the first place.

  Hi all, just wondering if others have had the same experience as me here. 

  I find the control-F find facility within JAWS 6 Internet Explorer to be 
rather flaky.  Particularly annoying as I use this function a lot, mainly as a 
time-saver to avoid navigation on web pages.  

  For example, often I'll tap a search string into the field, press enter and 
it tells me that the string isn't on the page ... even if the page is littered 
with that string!  

  Example 2: Sometimes when I hit control F on a web page, write my string and 
hit enter, what it actually does is activate the link that I was nearest to or 
hovvering over on the webpage when I hit control-F in the first place.  Doubly 
annoying that often links at the top of a page are advert banners.  

  Has anyone else had similar experiences with control-F screenfind?

  ...Damon
