11.2. Finding Information

There are two ways to find information in Firefox: the search bar and the find bar.

11.2.1. Using the Search Bar

Firefox has a search bar that can access different engines, like Google, Yahoo, or Amazon. For example, if you want to find information about SUSE using the current engine, click in the search bar, type SUSE, and hit Enter. The results appear in your window. To choose your search engine, click the icon in the search bar. A menu opens with a list of available search engines.

11.2.2. Using the Find Bar

To search inside a Web page, click Edit+Find in This Page or press Ctrl-F and the find bar opens. Usually, it is displayed at the bottom of a window. Type your query in the input field. Firefox highlights all occurrences of this phrase. With Highlight, enable and disable the highlighting.
