Searching text on your mobile device

A lot of people are familiar with searching for a keyword in a text document on a desktop / laptop. You use Ctrl+F for (PC) or Command+F (Mac). This helps so much on long documents.

Did you know that you can do the same thing on a mobile device?

I am going to show you how on Chrome and Safari.

Step 1 Chrome
First tap the Menu button, it looks like three dots in the top right corner

Step 2

Tap on "Find in Page" now I found that many sites did not have this feature so I tapped "Request Desktop Site" (in green) and then it would allow me to select "Find in Page"

Then type in the box what you are looking for

Step 1 Safari
Tap on the Share button, it looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it

Step 2

Select the Magnifying Glass icon. You may have to slide the icons from right to left because it was further along on my version of the browser. 

Step 3

Type what you want to search

That's it, I'm thinking about talking about passwords next time. NIST (National Institure for Standards and Technology) just updated their recommendations plus there is a lot of advice that I used to give people when I taught technology classes.
