Scrolling? You do know about / right? Just type /Belg (or Ctrl-f) to find Belgium.

Well, I did ctrl+f but this is actually the first time I'm hearing about / for quick search, haha. Thanks!

Which browser?

Firefox.

it used to actually default to quick searching anything you typed (with / quick searching only links) but now you have to fiddle with an option for that.

ETA: in the spirit of the thread: I'm in Albuquerque, New Mexico, US. Which I've said before.

There's also ' (apostrophe) for "quick find, in hyperlinks only". I sorely miss it when using Chrome.

Firefox's quickfind behavior is a solid 25-30% of why I never switched to chrome.

It's unfortunate when web sites hijack the slash key for their own uses (github gets me with this every time).

github hijacks so many keys, can't stand it.

Well,sure,I use Vimium anyway. But we shall see.

Cmd/Ctrl+F plus your country name.

Is that really a concern? Surely the HN audience knows how to use the Find option in their browser.

But if it makes you feel better, I'm sure someone will whip up a regex or perl oneliner to get to the row data and then sort/aggregate it in 20 different ways, or color a heatmap, or in any style of chart you prefer.
