If you want to find text in a lengthy Topic, it can be tedious to use the *Justin Community" built in search tool. It is not possible (that I’m aware of) to quickly get the next match.
For instance, I was in the page for “F Chord Cheats”, and was looking for how others resolved the difficulty of the “Mini F chord”. Using the built in search didn’t preserve where I was in the page: frustrating with almost 100 matches for the word “mini”

If you are a fan of using Regular Expressions, use a Firefox browser (or one of its spinoffs, like LibreFox) and add the extension “Regex Search”–this has its own learning curve, so for the hard core only
How to leverage Justin Community Website built in searches
Restrict the search to only the current page:
Expose the “Advanced” search capabilities
for encouraging people to use search features. So much more efficient than just scrolling (and scrolling (and scrolling (…))) and hoping you spot what you’re looking for. And useful on pretty much all websites.
