Word searching within a page

How often do you find yourself in this situation?

You've opened up a web page or .pdf document that should have some useful information on it. But instead of being able to quickly locate what you are looking for you are faced with long, text heavy page that will take a lot of reading to pinpoint the one section you are interested in. 

Sound like too much work? But what is the alternative? Maybe you could keep searching for another, easier page. But that also sounds like a lot of work, and might not produce as much information as the page you are on. If what you are looking for is not basic information, there might not even be another page. 

What if you could have the best of both worlds?

Well, the good news is you can - Using the Command F short cut will allow you to search for key words on a page, those key words that can help you quickly zoom to the section of the page that actually tells you what you want to know.

Quote of the Week

The only important thing in a book is the meaning that it has for you

- W. Somerset Maugham

Book Trailer - Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of curious photographs.

A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.

A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows. [blurb from Goodreads.com]
