NCSA Mosaic for MS Windows User Guide: Advanced Features

Searching for a Character String

NCSA Mosaic includes a search function that lets you find a character string, a word, or a phrase in the current document.

  1. Select Find on the Edit menu to open the Find window or click on the Find icon on the toolbar .
  2. Enter the desired string in the Find What: field.
  3. Press RETURN, the F3 key, or click the Find Next button to find the next occurrence.

NCSA Mosaic searches the entire document. If the string is found, Mosaic positions the document so the first occurrence of the string is highlighted and appears within the document view area. Clicking again on Find Next finds the next occurrence of the string. If the string is not found, the message "The string "your word" was not found." appears in a dialog box.
