As an extra in Firefox, you can start searching by hitting forward-slash only, which is a nice intermediate between CTRL-F and “search as you type”, the latter of which I personally despise… :p This is called “quick search”, and doesn’t come with the full set of search controls, but if you’re just looking for a keyword on the page, you’re golden.

Hey thanks for the article…
Had a good chuckle about the “hacking” bit :)
