What happened to Edit Find in IE7?

Post by Sherman Willden »

How do I find a string with IE7? It doesn't appear that the Edit or any other drop down menu exits anymore. I deleted the Google from the browser window so maybe that was were it was.

Thank you;

From a Google search:

Display the Menu Bar at the top of the screen To display temporarily: press the ALT key
To display permanently: Tools > Menu Bar

Let me point out that IE7 is a beta product and not yet released to the general pubic for daily use.

The question is unclear.

If you're referring to searching for a string within the current page, Jon's reply will do that. Pressing "Alt" will bring up the standard top menu, and "Find in This Page" is under the "Edit" item.

If you wish to search the web, use one of the search engines, of course, and Google is a good one. But you don't need to have any of the IE Google add-ins to do that - just go to their site.

I downloaded the latest release of I.E.7 and it seems a lot better than the other beta's. Looks almost complete. It's only been two days but no problems, so far.

There are also many add-on's (most are not free) on the Microsoft site so that would tend to say this is or very close to the final release version.
