NeoMayhem Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Whoa, I was typing an IM, and accidently clicked on the wrong window, a safari window. As I was typing, safari was searching for what I typed in. This is a sweet feature, if you are using safari now, just type in neomayhem really fast or something and it will search for my name and highlight it on this page. I am using 1.2, I never noticed this before :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I am not getting the same result. Is there any specific place I have to type in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMayhem Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 I am not getting the same result. Is there any specific place I have to type in? No, just make sure you have the main window selected and not the address bar or something. I think that this is something added by Saft 5, even though I dont see it mentioned on that site anywhere. Mac15 told me that this is a feature called mozillatypeahead in mozilla, so other browsers might do it to. I really like this though, very useful :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMayhem Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Ah, it is a feature added by saft, but it is really sweet :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redestium Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yeah it's a feature of the Mozilla browsers, I guess the KHTML guys are using it too. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redestium Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Here in FX for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted February 16, 2004 Supervisor Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yup, TypeAhead has been in Firebird since it was Phoenix... And it is definitely useful in those long documents. Say, does Saf TypeAhead search only for links, or can you also make it search for plaintext by typing a "/" before you enter the term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 yeah... what it does is searches through links in the current window. You don't need to type it fast or anything. In Firefox .8 you see the words get highlighted, and when you press enter, it just 'clicks' the selected link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMayhem Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 It searches everything, text and links :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redestium Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 It searches everything, text and links :p Yup, in FX you can chose to have it search all text or only links. See my previous screen shot. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
