find on a page button or form

[jerry]

Hi,
I am trying to put a find on a single page button or form or script that
would search only one page of a site.
Like a one page yellow pages.
There would be multiple businesses selling multiple products on a page.
Each business would list the products they sell.
when a person comes onto the page and enters find or search words in a box
the results would show just what was on that one page, not the whole website.
Seems simple but I cannot find anything on just a one page find button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have spent most of this Sunday
trying to find out how to do this.

Jerry... If I were doing this, I think I'd just give instructions on the top
of the page on how to have the browser do the search, since it's easy. (eg,
"if you're using Firefox, go to Edit, find on this page... and type in the
name of the company you're looking for"... or.... "if using Firefox, type
Ctrl+F and type in the name of the company you're looking for" and give
similar instructions for IE.

Not elegant, but gets the job done.
..... Rick

Thanks Rick, yes I was trying to get around that, but that is maybe the way
to go.
