Weird, I use this all the time to and haven't noticed any problems. The only
time I don't get what I want is when it goes to the last link it was on on that
page and that's after the string you looked for. In that case I just go to the
top and search again.

Yes 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.

Subject: [access-uk] screenfind in IE6 with JAWS 6
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?
