Natalie,
This particular issue isn't confined to laptops and JAWS. Before you hit
control+f to start the find command, make sure you hit CTRL+home to go to
the top of the page. Unfortunately, JAWS versions 7 /7.1 sometimes don't
appear to want to find things unless specifically searching from the top of
the page.
HTH. Let me know if you have other questions.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: A JAWS laptop question
Hello all,
I have a question for you all out there about Jaws on a laptop. Recently I
bought a laptop and have been slowly adjusting to Jaws commands for it.
However, I keep encountering a problem that baffles me and I'm hoping
someone out there who uses Jaws on a laptop can assist me.
As many might know, when on a website, control F will pop up the Jaws Find
box. A lot of times I use this on websites that I go to a lot so I don't
have to keep hitting page down a bazillion times. Anyway, while on my laptop
the other week, I tried to use the Jaws Find and typed in a particular
search string I knew I would find on the site. But all I got was that little
ding and a message saying not found. But when searching the page manually, I
found what I was looking for. Then, a few days later, I was doing it again,
using the Jaws Find and it was working! Everything I search for came up, no
littl dings with a not found message.
However, this seems to alternate. Sometimes when I search, I find what I'm
looking for, other times, nothing. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any
type of setting I need to adjust? Because this is driving me crazy.
Well, if anyone has encountered this problem and knows what I'm talking
about, please hit me back. If not, oh well. Guess I'll just muddle it
through myself. Lol
