Search Text with the ‘Find on Page’ option
Here are the steps on follow:
- Launch the Microsoft Edge app on Android.
- Open any page that you need to search text for.
- Tap on the Menu
for options. - Select the Find on page option from the list.
- Enter the ‘keyword’ or ‘sentence’ to search on the page.
The feature will automatically search and display the repetition, highlighting the yellow color. You can scroll or tap on the arrow buttons to scroll through the results.
Bottom Line
The ‘Find on Page’ helps look up any terms and keywords on the page and highlights the repetitions. Alternatively, you can use different search engines to search the internet within the browser.
Similarly, you can also use the find-in-page feature on the Edge browser on a computer. The keyboard hotkeys + (on Mac) and + (Windows) can help in starting the in-page search bar on desktop browsers.
