  • In Chrome in addition to Firefox, this is ctrl /f ,   ie concur downwards the Control cardinal acre pressing the "f" cardinal once.

Type inward a  few letters of the elevate (or description) of the gadget you lot want.  
Note:  these tin dismiss hold upwardly whatever letter, they don't convey to hold upwardly at the start.  But they must appear together.



Usually, equally presently equally you lot start typing, your web-browser volition start scrolling downwards to the showtime house inward the covert where the letters you lot type appear.   So if you lot direct the gadget details you lot type carefully, you lot should destination upwardly scrolled downwards to the gadget you lot wish real speedily indeed.

The scroll bar at the side shows how far downwards the window you lot convey come, in addition to also if at that topographic point are to a greater extent than cases of those letters farther downwards the page.

And in 1 trial you lot are at the gadget you lot want, you lot tin dismiss only click the elevate or the bluish plus-sign on the correct side to opened upwardly the gadget configuration page.
