Earlier versions of Internet Explorer allowed you to find words or phrases in a webpage but Internet Explorer 8 provides these improvements: The text box into which you type the words you want to find now appears on the tab row and not as a separate dialog box. This enables you to stay on the webpage and doesn't block parts of the page. As you type words into the text box, the matching words are highlighted on the webpage, making it easy to quickly scroll the page and see all the instances of the words you're searching for. In addition, you can still click the Next and Previous buttons to move around the page just as you did in previous versions of Internet Explorer. This tutorial shows you how to find information on a webpage. Keyboard actions Display the Start menu by pressing the Windows logo key .
