Thread: Firefox's Find bar alternative for Opera

One of the feature I like in Firefox is the Find bar. A small bar appears above the statusbar. You can type the words you need to find and Firefox will instantly highlight it. And you can freely browse the webpage/tab without any trouble.



While Opera has an old style annoying Find window.



There is a similar/better feature in Opera. You can use the angle bracket keys ("Less Than or Comma" & "Greater Than or Dot") to quick search the webpage without opening the Find window.





The "Less Than or Comma" symbol key allows to search for words with hyperlinks and the "Greater Than or Dot" symbol key allows to search for any words in the webpage.

Note: I am using this feature in Opera 10.20 and don't know if this is available in older versions.

I use Find option in Firefox everyday... It's quite handy! Thanks for sharing the bits about Opera..
Nice to see that you're starting threads.

I found this out by accident when I rested by hand on the keyboard and just had to share it.
