Quickly Search and Highlight Text on a Web Page on Mac

Looking for a specific word or phrase on a web page? On a Mac, you can use the Command (⌘) + F keyboard shortcut to search and highlight instantly.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Open the Web Page you want to search in Safari, Chrome, or any browser.
  2. Press Command (⌘) + F on your keyboard. A small search bar or field will appear, usually under the tab on the far right of your browser window.
  3. Type the word or phrase you’re looking for. The browser will highlight all matching instances on the page, making it easy to spot exactly what you need.
  4. Navigate through results using the previous (<) and next (>) arrows in the search bar to jump from one match to the next.

Pro Tip: The Command (⌘) + F keyboard shortcut works in most Mac apps, including PDFs, Word documents, and emails – so you can quickly locate text anywhere.

Using Command (⌘) + F saves time scrolling through long web pages or documents, letting you find exactly what you need in seconds.
