Search engines help find the Web pages you are looking for, but when it comes down to locating your keywords on the actual page, your browser can help. Most browser programs use the Control-F (Command-F on the Mac) to open a search box for finding certain words within the page itself, and most highlight the instances of the word (and number of time it appears). Google Chrome also displays yellow markers vertically along the scroll bar on the right side of the page so you can quickly see all the places the word or phrase appears.
Back and forward buttons in the search box let you click through the page for each occurrence of the word. Depending on the browser, you may be able to fine-tune your search results within the page. Internet Explorer includes an Options buton that can match the whole word only or just the typographical case; Firefox can also match the word’s case, making it easier to locate proper nouns and names within a page.
