Hello all,

I have a question for you all out there about Jaws on a laptop. Recently I 
bought a laptop and have been slowly adjusting to Jaws commands for it. 
However, I keep encountering a problem that baffles me and I'm hoping someone 
out there who uses Jaws on a laptop can assist me.

As many might know, when on a website, control F will pop up the Jaws Find box. 
A lot of times I use this on websites that I go to a lot so I don't have to 
keep hitting page down a bazillion times. Anyway, while on my laptop the other 
week, I tried to use the Jaws Find and typed in a particular search string I 
knew I would find on the site. But all I got was that little ding and a message 
saying not found. But when searching the page manually, I found what I was 
looking for. Then, a few days later, I was doing it again, using the Jaws Find 
and it was working! Everything I search for came up, no littl dings with a not 
found message.
However, this seems to alternate. Sometimes when I search, I find what I'm 
looking for, other times, nothing. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any type 
of setting I need to adjust? Because this is driving me crazy.

Well, if anyone has encountered this problem and knows what I'm talking about, 
please hit me back. If not, oh well. Guess I'll just muddle it through myself. 
Lol
