You can find key words within websites to narrow your search and find facts and information.

In Firefox go to Edit to Find or Command F. A Find bar will appear at the bottom of your window. Type in your keyword(s). You can select all of those words to be highlighted or have the first of your selected words highlighted. You can then select Next or Previous to find more.

In Safari go to Edit to Find or Command F. A Find bar will appear at the top of your window. Type in your keyword(s). Safari highlights all the words in white, and the first one in yellow. To find the words use Command–G. Safari also tells you how many of those words are on the page. This will be very helpful for students trying to locate specific information within a website.
