    Windows 10 and Ctrl + F


    In previous versions of Windows (or is it just the Firefox browser?), searching for terms (using Ctrl + F) in browsers was better--instead of searching solely for whole terms, it searched for anything you typed (e.g., while typing "eradicate", it would have found every "e", then every "er", then every "era", etc).

    I want to be able to change this back to the way it used to be. Can I?

    :)

    CTRL+F hotkey broken

    Ah thank you very much, much appreciated! I can happily use CTRL+F again after following the instructions!

    Okay so what I did:

    1. Created a new profile by following steps in your link and logged into that profile after reboot.

    2. Let everything load, then trying CTRL+F in this new profile, and that worked.

    3. Logged off from the new profile, logged into my own profile.

    4. Profit! It works again!

    Does this mean that my own initial profile is repaired? I will try and see what happens when I remove the newly created profile.

    5. After removing the new profile, the CTRL+F shortcut is broken again. So I guess that my own profile is still garbled. Any chance in repairing my profile without too much hassle?

    6. Additionally, I have installed a language pack on my main (only) profile. The installation language was Dutch, but I prefer everything in English. In the Windows Login Screen I noticed that in the bottom right no language icon was available for the new
    profile, but for my own profile I could see the language icon "ENG" with "INTL" keyboard layout.

    7. Redid the steps to add a new profile again. Reboot. Instead of first logging in to the new account, I logged in to my own account first. CTRL+F did not work. So logged out from my own account, logged in to the newly made account where CTRL+F did work.

    8. Rebooting and logging in to the newly created account first to check if CTRL+F still works, it does. Then logged into my own account where CTRL+F still doesn't work.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Ctrl F functionality

    Ctrl+f === Open the 'find on page" toolbar....(on every open tab of the browser window)

    then when you press Ctrl+f again.... the "find on page" toolbar should disappear.

    to enter a new search string into the find on page toolbar you must click on the already opened toolbar and type in your new search string.

    Regards.
