eleifsp: Searching without Ctrl+F? If you mean Type-ahead find, then see this bug: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=150
Also, the number of matches found should be right there in the find box itself (as in "7 of 9"). seochatter: Yes, we need to add support for searching textfields and I think it was implemented in Webkit recently, so we might see it sooner than later. Here is to hoping. :) Anyway - that issue is being tracked in: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=269. -Finnur On Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 15:13, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Also, the 'find' function in Chrome does not search text boxes.
