When you are in an IE window, if you press Ctrl-F, it should open a "Find" window.
That Find window searches from whatever high-lighted item you have and onward; unless you make the search direction "Up" in which case, it will search from your high-lighted point and backward.
If you don't have any high-lighted point, then it will search from the beginning of that IE frame to the end. Searches sometimes will not search outside the current frame.
But as for searching just a "string" (how are you defining that?) the search will be that area and much more than just a string.
For example, here in this "Message body" area, where I am key-stroking this message, the Find searches my entered text AND the rest of the entire web page I am on right now.
If you are not getting these sort of actions, I would suspect something is amiss.
I was using my computer, with FF, and had no problems with the 'find' feature. With my puter down temporarily, Im using my wifes IE. Seems once Im in a string, 'find' wont work. Possibly it doesnt work for links? Or is this an unintentional side effect of a recent upgrade? Or is is something odd with this pute? Thanks
