This is another one of those very simple things that I only noticed when I was desperate. If you’re needing to search web pages or, say, verify a long list of names against one of those online family charts that scrolls on forever, this is a very handy thing to use.
In your browser menu is an option to search a web page.
Internet Explorer brings up a search box where you’ll have to type in the entire word or phrase you’re looking for before it begins searching.

Firefox puts a search bar along the bottom of your screen and will turn the search box red when you type the first non-existent letter.

If you’re only looking for one word either browser will work. If you have lots of words to look for, Firefox will suit this job better by far.
