If you're a dedicated Firefox user, you may have noticed that the release of Firefox 2 came with a jarring surprise: the disappearance of the beloved 'Find As You Type' bar. Instead, it was replaced with a less intuitive search box that lacked any accompanying buttons. Fortunately, there is a way to restore the 'Find As You Type' feature through the FAYT extension.
Once activated, 'Find As You Type' provides the user with the familiar bar— complete with 'Next', 'Previous', 'Highlight all', and 'Match case' buttons. To activate this feature, simply navigate to the menu and select: Tools - Options - Advanced - General. From there, choose 'Search for text when I start typing'.
To use 'Find As You Type', all you need to do is visit any web page and start typing a relevant word. As you're typing, the desired link will be highlighted, and you can simply press 'Enter' to access it. Though the disappearance of the 'Find As You Type' bar may have been a frustrating update, the FAYT extension allows users to easily restore this helpful tool.
