MicrosoftIntroducing sidebar search in Microsoft Edge
That's great news, can't wait to see it online. Would the new side bar also cover the ability to "find on page", this would be a big improvement for searching specific sites for content.
Good news! You can now find words or phrases on a webpage. Use shortcut Crtl+G on your keyboard
and a popup will come below the right end of the address bar and you can type word or phrase to find it on the page.TheShaunSaw Why do we need Ctrl+F and Ctrl+G?
pbilk I use it extensively for school, since you get rewarded for memorization and reciting things quickly and then forgetting them until you need it again. You find a keyword, do ctrl+f, and find the info fast, copy and paste, find next word.
I also use it to find conversations easier, like this one.
Thanks, but that's what I'm using already.
The problem with the Find Popup is that it closes anytime you go to a new page, so searching within a site with multiple pages (1, 2, 3 etc.) is a mess, as you always have to reopen the Find Popup again.
It would be a big improvement if the find input-field stayed open (like in Edge Legacy) or even better if it would be part of the side bar, so you can easily switch between the different occurrences of your finds on this page (the up/down arrows are not very helpful if you have let's say 25 or more hits).
I think of a solution like the find sidebar in MS Word where all finds are listed. Imagine a large webpage (e.g. a whitepaper) where you have to find certain keywords or phrases and constantly need to switch between them to get a job done.
