Search function for FireFox browser?
It is too bad there is no search capability in the Mozilla browser. While reading large pdf files I am forced to copy their content into gedit and use its search tool.
Is there a way to change that? Thanks, - A. |
I think pressing CTRL-F opens search dialog box in firefox or seamonkey.
There is also find menu option in edit menubox. |
what's wrong with using evince or ocular ( gnome/ kde)
the built in pdf in ff has always caused me MAJOR problems |
Ctrl+F works if it text information (not pictures)
But yes the newer versions of FF kind of suck. Including the new search bar |
I am ashamed. You guys know so much and I so little!!! Ctrl+F really works. It is amazing how long I suffered and wasted so much time.
Thank you very much. A. |
I just installed evince. I don't know how it works but there is no way to give it a url for input. There is no address window. I tried to copy a pdf file and paste it (ctrl+A + ctrl+V) to evince. No effect, it does not accept it: "File type plain text document (text/plain) is not supported"

I don't have evince but I would guess you could just open things by selecting file->open
