滚动浏览冗长的网页(web page)以查找特定的单词或短语(word or phrase)既乏味又耗时。值得庆幸的是,所有主要的桌面和移动网络浏览器都支持通用查找功能(Find function)。它易于使用,使扫描大量文本的帖子变得轻而易举。
如果您不熟悉Find,这篇文章将帮助您了解如何在任何设备上的任何浏览器中使用它。您还将了解在多个打开的选项卡和网页中同时搜索(tabs and web pages)单词或文本(word or text)的方法。
如何在任何浏览器上打开和(Any Browser)使用 Find(Use Find)
Find存在于 Web 浏览器中,例如Google Chrome、Mozilla Firefox、Microsoft Edge和Apple Safari。它在任何地方也都一样,并且可以通过标准键盘快捷键(keyboard shortcut)方便地访问。
首先选择您要搜索的网页所在的浏览器选项卡。(browser tab)然后,按Control + F (PC) 或Command + F ( Mac )。查找栏应立即出现在(Find bar)浏览器窗口(browser window)的右上角或底部。
随后(Follow)键入一个单词或短语(word or phrase),Find应该开始实时突出显示页面中的第一个匹配实例。(matching instance)它还应该表示整个页面中相同单词或短语的总数。
注意:(Note:)除字母大小写外,您必须准确键入单词或短语,否则(word or phrase)Find将无法找到它。
然后,您可以选择查找栏中的“(Find bar)下一个”(Next )和“上一个(Previous )”箭头以在每个项目之间自动移动。或者,如果您更喜欢只使用快捷键,请使用Control + G和Control + Shift + G击键。(G)
如果需要,您可以导航到另一个选项卡并返回,查找栏(Find bar)将保持可用。您也可以在多个选项卡中使用“查找(Find)”,但不能从单个选项卡搜索所有打开的网页。完成查找所需内容后,按Esc或选择x形按钮退出查找。
提示:(Tip:)您可以显示页面源代码(page source)(或HTML)并使用Find来搜索网页前端隐藏的文本。为此,只需按Control + U (PC) 或Command + U ( Mac ),或右键单击或按住 Control 单击页面并选择(page and select) View Page Source。
如何使用桌面浏览器控件打开查找(Find Using Desktop Browser Controls)
除了键盘快捷键,您还可以依靠浏览器控件打开Find。只需(Just look)在窗口的任何角落寻找一个带有三个点或三个堆叠线的图标,即可显示浏览器菜单(browser menu)。您可能会在其中看到Find列表。
例如,在 Chrome 中,选择浏览器窗口(browser window and pick)左上角的More图标(三个点)并选择(More )Find。在某些浏览器中,您应该会发现它被命名为Find in Page、Find on Page等。
对于Mac上的某些浏览器,您可能希望改为在菜单栏中查看。例如,使用Safari时,选择编辑(Edit )>查找(Find)。
如何在移动浏览器中打开查找
Find也可用于移动版本的网络浏览器。如果您使用带键盘的平板设备(use a tablet device with a keyboard),则Control + F或Command + F键盘快捷键应该可以帮助您打开Find。如果没有,您必须通过浏览器菜单(browser menu)打开它。
再次(Again),在屏幕的顶部或底部寻找一个带有三个点或三个堆叠线的图标。例如,在 iOS 版本的Chrome中,您应该会在右下角看到它——点击它并选择Find in Page。
在移动设备上使用Find的工作方式与桌面类似。只需开始(Just start)输入,它将开始突出显示页面中的匹配实例。然后,使用Next和Previous箭头在每个项目中移动。最后,点击完成(Done )退出查找。
如何在所有打开的选项卡和网页(Open Tabs and Web Pages)中搜索单词(Words)
查找(Find)不允许您同时在所有打开的网页(或选项卡)上搜索单词或文本。(word or text)但是,如果您打开了数十个选项卡并想快速找到某些东西怎么办?
如果您使用Opera 浏览器(Opera Browser),您可以使用集成的搜索选项卡选项(Search Tabs option)来搜索打开的选项卡的标题和内容(title and content)。您可以通过在 PC 和 Mac 上 按Space + Control来使用它。(Control)
Chrome等浏览器也允许您搜索标签,但仅限于页面标题(page title)。但是,您可以依靠搜索(Search)所有选项卡扩展(Tabs extension)来扫描所有打开的选项卡上的文本。只需将其安装在浏览器上,选择菜单栏(menu bar)上的扩展图标(extension icon),然后开始输入您的查询。
扩展程序应显示选项卡的预览,以及您键入时匹配的术语。然后,您可以按Enter切换到具有匹配术语的第一个选项卡,按Shift + Enter在新窗口中打开具有匹配内容的所有选项卡,依此类推。您应该会在扩展程序的搜索框中(search box)找到其他有用的快捷方式。
搜索所有选项卡适用于Google Chrome、Mozilla Firefox和Microsoft Edge。您还可以通过查看每个浏览器的附加商店来找到具有类似功能的替代扩展。
如果您不喜欢使用扩展程序,请尝试使用 Google 的高级搜索运算符(try out Google’s advanced search operators)来搜索多个页面中的单词和文本,甚至无需在浏览器中打开它们。
方便高效
Find使扫描网页上的单词变得异常方便和高效。如果您想同时搜索多个打开的页面,请不要忘记(t forget)依靠浏览器扩展(browser extension)(请记住,Opera甚至不需要它)来进一步加快搜索速度。
How to Search for a Word or Text on a Webpage in Any Web Browser
Scrolling through a lengthy web page looking for a specific word or phrase is tedious and time-consuming. Thankfully, all major deѕktop and mobile web browsers support the universаl Find function. It’s easy to use and makes scanning text-heavy posts a breeze.
If you aren’t familiar with Find, this post will help you figure out how to use it in any browser on any device. You’ll also learn about ways to search for a word or text in multiple open tabs and web pages simultaneously.
How to Open and Use Find on Any Browser
Find is present in web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari. It also works the same everywhere and is conveniently accessible via a standard keyboard shortcut.
Start by selecting the browser tab with the webpage that you want to search through. Then, press Control + F (PC) or Command + F (Mac). The Find bar should instantly appear at the top-right or bottom of the browser window.
Follow by typing a word or phrase, and Find should begin highlighting the first matching instance within the page in real-time. It should also denote the total amount of identical words or phrases throughout the page.
Note: Except for letter cases, you must type the word or phrase accurately, or Find will fail to locate it.
You can then select the Next and Previous arrows within the Find bar to automatically move between each item. Alternatively, use the Control + G and Control + Shift + G keystrokes if you prefer sticking solely to shortcuts.
If you want, you can navigate to another tab and come back, and the Find bar will remain available. You can also use Find in multiple tabs, but you can’t search through all open web pages from a single tab. Once you’ve finished looking for what you want, press Esc or select the x-shaped button to exit Find.
Tip: You can reveal the page source (or HTML) and use Find to search for text that appears hidden from the front-end of a web page. To do that, simply press Control + U (PC) or Command + U (Mac), or right-click or control-click a page and select View Page Source.
How to Open Find Using Desktop Browser Controls
The keyboard shortcut aside, you can also rely on browser controls to open Find. Just look for an icon with three dots or three stacked lines on any corner of the window to reveal the browser menu. You should likely see Find listed inside it.
In Chrome, for example, select the More icon (three dots) to the top-left of the browser window and pick Find. In some browsers, you should find it named as Find in Page, Find on Page, and so on.
With some browsers on a Mac, you may want to look within the menu bar instead. For example, when using Safari, select Edit > Find.
How to Open Find in Mobile Browsers
Find is available on mobile versions of web browsers as well. If you use a tablet device with a keyboard, the Control + F or Command + F keyboard shortcuts should help you open Find. If not, you must open it via the browser menu.
Again, look for an icon with three dots or three stacked lines to the top or bottom of the screen. For example, in the iOS version of Chrome, you should see it to the lower-right—tap it and select Find in Page.
Using Find on mobile works similar to the desktop. Just start typing, and it will begin highlighting matching instances within the page. Then, use the Next and Previous arrows to move through each item. Finally, tap Done to exit Find.
How to Search All Open Tabs and Web Pages for Words
Find does not allow you to search for a word or text on all open webpages (or tabs) simultaneously. But what if you have dozens of tabs open and want to locate something quickly?
If you use Opera Browser, you can use the integrated Search Tabs option to search both the title and content of open tabs. You can use it by pressing Space + Control on both the PC and Mac.
Browsers such as Chrome also allow you to search tabs but limit that to the page title only. However, you can rely on the Search all Tabs extension to scan for text on all open tabs. Just install it on your browser, select the extension icon on the menu bar, and start typing in your query.
The extension should show previews of tabs, along with matching terms as you type along. You can then press Enter to switch to the first tab with the matching term, press Shift + Enter to open all tabs with matching content in a new window, and so on. You should find additional useful shortcuts listed within the extension’s search box.
Search all Tabs is available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. You may also find alternative extensions with similar functionality by looking through the add-on stores of each respective browser.
If you don’t like using extensions, try out Google’s advanced search operators to search for words and text in multiple pages without even opening them in your browser.
Convenient and Productive
Find makes scanning for words on web pages incredibly convenient and productive. If you want to search through several open pages at once, don’t forget to rely on a browser extension (remember, Opera doesn’t even need that) to speed things up even further.
