Knowing how to search a webpage for a word is a huge time saver because it saves you from having to read through a whole page sentence by sentence. As you already know this can be very tiring and hard on the eyes. The technique mentioned below works for both words and complete phrases.
Step 1: Navigate to the webpage that you want to search. Once you are there, hold down your "Ctrl" button and "F" button at the same time . This is also referred to as Ctrl+F. A search bar will then appear in the top right of your browser. Each browser's search bar may look a little different and might be in a different location but they all do the same thing.
Step 2: Type in the word or phrase you want to search the webpage for and hit your "Enter" key. The word or phrase you are looking for will now be highlighted anywhere that it is found on the page.
Step 3: To navigate to each location of the keyword or phrase you can press enter. Every time you press your enter key your browser will scroll down the page and stop at the highlighted keyword. For example, if the word you are searching for is found five times on that specific webpage, the enter key will navigate you to the exact location of each incident of the word.
One More Thing...
Most browsers will usually give a total number of times the word is found on the webpage so that you won't have to manually count them. You will see this just to the right of the search box.
Now you know how to search a webpage for words and phrases! This is one of those shortcuts that you will most likely use from here on out. I learned this years ago and it has saved me TONS OF TIME!
