With the menu now hidden, some people may feel that searching is more difficult with IE7. Not so! Here is how to search within a page with Internet Explorer 7. One feature for firefox that many users love is the in-line search. You can now have in-line search for IE7 too.

Searching a web page for certain text is still easy within IE7. This is how to do it.

Press CTRL-F will open the traditional find box that we all know from IE6. You can remember F as it is a FIND feature.

Alternatively, you can tap ALT to open up the classic IE menus at the top of the browser. The Find feature is under the Edit menu.

If you like the in-line search from firefox, IE now has a plug-in that does in-line search as well:

IE7 Plug-in for In-Line Search

After installing it and restarting IE7, pressing CTRL-F will open an in-line search box at the bottom of your browser... just like firefox.
