Favorite "Find"

[Nile]

Hey, in this thread you can post which find function you like the most.
I personally think that Safari's is awesome, after that would come Chrome then Firefox. What about you guys?

What do you mean 'find function'?

CTRL F, Apple F, the browsers "find" function.

Oh. I personally like Firefox's. Then Chrome, then IE8's.

I don't have Safari, what's so great / different about the find function in that compared to FF?

[Nile]

What Safari does that is so great that it:
1) Has a search window at the top(like a bar) and you type in your search.
2) Then in kind of a fading way it highlights all the results.
Heres a really quick swoof file I made, it will take a while to load + it has very bad graphics.

I like the find and highlight syntax when using find in notepad++ does that count?

[Schmoopy]

Yea notepad++ is absolutely great for highlighting / editing, like once I had put like 50 <br> tags in a page, and wanted the page to validate, so had to change them all to <br/>, but using notepad++'s find and replace saved me loads of time :D

50 <br> tags? How about using margins & padding, buddy? lol

I don't really have a favorite "find" functionality in a browser. As long as it gets the job done...that's all that matters (to me).

What I have a greater issue with is searching from within the browser and bookmarklets. I've recently switched to use Inman's Shortwave (http://shortwaveapp.com/). Let me tell ya, a huge life saver.

Yea it was one of my earlier works, so I was a bit inexperienced :P

Safari's is by far the best looking and most functional imo, but my fav browser is still FF. Maybe there's an add-on that fixes the find function for FF?

found it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7299

Thanks! I checked out that one but it's not exactly the same, it shows the results in an area below the search bar. I found another one that acts like the Safari find, however, it's still a bit "buggy":

If I'm not mistaking the Safari find on a Mac computer is WAY cooler! Lol.
