How To Search For A Word On A Web Page Mac

We recently published an article mentioning some of the best tools to take full webpage screenshots. However, our readers who use Apple Mac computers, brought it to our notice that we did not mention how to do this on a Mac! Well, that’s true and we are publishing this article to tell you exactly that. We all take screenshots for blogs, presentations etc. Sometimes we want to capture an entire webpage as an image. Those who don’t know the trick, they take multiple screenshots of different parts of the webpage and then combine them using an image editing software. Today we will learn how you can easily grab the full webpage screenshot on your Macbook.

There is no shortcut key or direct tool for the open search text box on the webpage. For Mac/ PC desktop users Command + F and Ctrl + F. Jun 24, 2019  Finding a certain bit of text using a desktop web browser is easy. Just go to the page and run a search for a specific word or phrase (control+F or command+F brings up the search tool in most browsers).Searching for text in Safari on the iPhone is a little tougher. That's mostly because the search feature is harder to find.

Capture Full Webpage Snapshot on Mac

Here are the steps:

  • Open your favorite web browser and go the webpage that you want to capture.
  • If the whole webpage is not fitting in one screen view, take the browser in full screen view. For this, click the double diagonal arrow in the top right corner.
  • If the entire website is still not in view, press Command and minus ( – ) key to reduce the zoom level of the browser. This will bring more content in view but the size of content will become smaller.
  • Keep pressing Command and minus keys till you get the whole area in view. Here you may need to strike a balance between getting the content in view and legibility of content. Do not make the zoom level so low that the content (especially text) could not be understood.
  • Once you have the desired content in view, press Command + Shift + 4 key combination. The cursor will change to a crosshair. Now select the desired webpage area by clicking and dragging the cursor on the webpage.
  • After selection, release the mouse button. Mac OS will save the selected area as a PNG file on your desktop.
  • Now press Command and 0 (zero) keys to bring the browser zoom level back to normal.

The above steps should help you in getting the desired screenshot. However, if the webpage is very long, it is likely that the content visibility will become low if you will apply the above given method. IF you’re facing this problem, then you can use an online service to get the screenshot of the entire webpage.

Keyboard shortcuts can get you whizzing around most applications and accessing features and functions that are hidden or difficult to find. For example did you know that most web browsers and other programs have a feature to allow you to search the text of the current page by simply hitting the F3 key? Did you know that you can magnify most browser windows by simply scrolling your mouse wheel while you hold your Ctrl key down?

If you did know these handy keyboard shortcuts you are definitely in the minority. For many of us if there isn’t an on screen button for it we don’t know about it.

Here are a few function key shortcuts that I use regularly.

Page

F1
Many people know F1 is help for operating systems but it also works from within browsers and many other applications. Hitting F1 typically brings up a dialogue, window or webpage with a search box preselect ready for you to type in a search to resolve your problem.

F3
Opens “Find on This Page” dialog that lets you perform a search on the current webpage. Rather that scrolling through a page looking for a particular section, word or link. Just hit F3 as soon as you are on the page and type in the keywords and you will be taken right to that section, typically with the keywords themselves highlighted.

F5
Reload/Refresh Page. This ensures you have the latest version of the page you are looking at.

F11
Toggles fullscreen mode. There a variety of instances when you really do want your browser in fullscreen mode, without all the superflous buttons and other things cluttering you view of the page content. You can also use this instead of hunting down the maximize button. Though it isn’t the same function exactly as maximize still maintains the buttons and such, you might find yourself using it alot for time when you formerly would have just maximized the screen.
