You may or may not know about this function but most Browsers can do this. ON Chrome which I'm now in it is at the top of each page in Chrome. So, first go up to the top of the page and you will see written there Chrome (at least it is this way on a macbook pro like I'm on now). So, on my Macbook there is an Apple (to show this is an apple version of Chrome). Next to that to the right is "File" and then next to that is "Edit". Edit is what you want.
Now figure out what word you want to find. It can be anything but usually a name is best, especially if you are looking for one word or name in 100 pages of documents.
First you go up to edit and then click "edit". a panel should drop down with many things on it like(undo, redo, cut, copy and paste) but those aren't the ones you want (at least right now) because you are looking for a specific word or name.
now go down with your mouse cursor to where it says "Find" and if you want to find something in someplace like "Word then the one on the left is what you want. however, it is on the web and you have the page displayed before you then you want the one that comes up in another panel that comes up when your cursor is over the left "find". So, if it is a web page you have displayed then click the right "find" and then you will notice something comes up to the right top of your screen. Now click your cursor into the left section of this box that appears up to the right of your screen. Now type in the word you want to find on the webpage. most of the time it will suddenly take you to that word (if it exists (exactly) as you have typed it. If you want the next occurrence of that word in your text then look for the sideways paren signs and click on one of those. The useful one sort of looks like a V.
Like for example, when I wanted to find out when Purple Delta 7 showed up in "2035" the first time I used this method of finding her because most of "2035" I wrote in 2009.
You can also use a slightly different version of this method to rename a character or a place in something you have written digitally as well. However, in Chrome I don't know if I can do this anymore because it used to have "Find" and then "replace". I think Firefox does the "Find" and the "Replace" but maybe not "Chrome".
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
