Tech Tuesday – Find Stuff with Control F

August11

If you’ve ever gone to a site with a really long scrolling page (ahem, like this one!) and tried to find that one post you were looking for, you know how maddening it can be to scroll and scroll and scroll. . . look away for a second and you’ve passed the spot you were looking for. Fortunately, for impatient folks (or redheads like me), there’s a super simple shortcut: use the Control key and hold down the F key at the same time (Ctrl+F). It’ll pop up a little “Find” dialog box in the bottom left hand of your screen. See here in the example I posted? I was looking for the funny brownie pans that Unclutterer blogged about so I typed in “brownie” and the computer wizard popped me down to the first instance of the word and helpfully highlighted it for me. I’ve used this a lot lately scrolling through real estate listings. My husband will ask, “what about that house on Park Lane?” and I’ll go to the results page on Realtor.com which is a mile long, Ctrl+F it, and pop to that listing. Super simple and it’s your Tech Tip Tuesday!
