Find (on this page) no longer works

[Waldy]

Hi there,
I have been cursing various search engines for months for
returning pages that do not contain the text that I am looking for.
However, I have only just realised that it is not a case of the text not
being on the page, rather it is the search function in Intenet Explorer that
does not work. Is this a known bug?

IE 6.0.2900.2180 XP Pro SP2.

Hello,

Can you post some example urls, please, where you cannot find your keywords
even though they appear in the text.

Hi,
I think this is often caused by frames.
Two workarounds I use.
1. Click (to set focus) in the part of the page that you want to search
(find on page.)
2. Use the "Open frame in a new window" feature of Web Accessories for IE5.
It's available from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/ie5wa.mspx Works OK
with IE 6.

See additional information about using Web Accessories with IE6 in this
