HandyFind — Finds Words As You Type (Discovery)
Bringing up a find dialog box can be a pain in some peograms — and other programs don’t even offer a search feature. HandyFind makes searching text easy in most Windows programs. Type the hot key (control-space is the default) and start typing your search term. The highlight will jump to the first match. Use the arrow keys to find the next or previous match. Esc or a mouse click exits search mode. It’s simple, fast, and works in most Windows programs — a nifty and useful program.
