"Find"


When searching full-text databases, one useful technique is Edit / Find on page -- or, [CTRL][f]. If you want to skip to the portion of the page that includes a particular keyword or form of that word, you can have the computer bring you directly to it on the page.
Try [CTRL][f] right now
and then type the word tips into the Find box.

In a PDF document, the search tool is the binoculars icon. In most pdf documents (that have been scanned to recognize individual words), you can search for words within the document.
