I have good news for you. There is no need to search for a word or a phrase on a webpage or on the whole website It can be done in a sec!
Method 1. Searching for a word or phrase on a web page.
For searching for a word or phrase on a specific web page you need to press
Press Ctrl+F (for Windows devices) or
⌘ Command+F (for Mac devices).
This will open the “Find” box in virtually any browser.
This command can also be found in the Edit menu of almost all browsers Chrome, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox.
Method 2. Searching for a word or phrase on a mobile device.
If you’re using a mobile browser, the Find command is usually in the browser’s menu. It may be called “Find in Page”.
- If you are using Safari for iOS, delete the address that is in the address bar and type the word you want to search for there instead. Select “On this page” from the search results that appear.
- Type the word that you want to find on the page. Your browser will find matches as you type. The letter case is ignored when using the Find tool.
- Cycle through the matches. Click the Next and Previous buttons in the Find box to cycle through the search results. The page will jump to each one, and the results will be highlighted.
Method 3. Searching on a whole website with Google
- Visit Google in your browser. You can use Google to perform searches of all of the pages on a website. This can help you find matching words on large or complex websites.
- Enter at the front of the search: site:your-site-address.com This will tell Google to only search through pages on that site.
- Enter the word or phrase you want to search for after the site address.
site: your-site-address.com the word you are looking for
site: https://dimacoweb.com SEO
If you enter a phrase it should look like:
site: your-site-address.com “the phrase you are looking for”
site: https://dimacoweb.com “local SEO”
If you want Google to look for an exact word or phrase, surround it with quotes.
Google will show you all pages that match your search, but it won’t point you to the matching text once you open the page. Open you open a page from the search results and use Method 1, which we discuss in this article to find the exact word or phrase on a page.
