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

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

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.
