Something that 90% of web users are unaware of...

I was listening to a TWiT podcast today and heard a stat that 90% of people were unaware of how to find something quickly on a webpage. This post aims to reduce that percentage.

Have you ever searched for something and when you pull up the webpage it is about a mile long? To read the whole page to find one nugget of information takes too long. Solution?

1. search for something

2. open a webpage

3. hit Ctrl+F and that will open a small search bar

The search will be limited to what is on the page and NOT the whole internet.

FYI - A TWiT (This Week in Technology) podcast is my secret weapon on keeping up to date on all things technology.
