Search Help......  Find a name or a text string

Search Feature- You may wish to search the website page to find someone's name or some text string such as Snowy Owl Inn. Fortunately both operating systems and browsers have a keyboard shortcut set up to do a word search on the web page being displayed. 

The Web browsers will place a Search/Find bar either at the top or at the bottom of the screen..  The search is performed after each letter is entered, so the text string may be found and highlighted before the whole string is entered.
