Is there a "find" in all Windows screens.

I have Win7 SP1.

In the "Administration Tools" /"Windows Firewall with Advanced
Security" screen, is there a "find" dialogue to locate a keyword?

I won't be happy until I actually have the diploma in my hands...

In Firefox one can type in a string in the field at the bottom of the
screen and then press F3 to have every instance of the string
highlighted in green. Your test is to find the equivalent in
Windows7.

No, that's *your* test.

a. For one thing, what do you mean by "find the equivalent in
Windows7"? Do you wish to highlight in green every occurrence of a
given string on the entire hard drive, or just within the Windows 7
code, or even just in the kernel? Or do you actually just mean anywhere
on the current screen in all the open windows?

b. My version of Firefox doesn't work that way. Did you make up the
question without checking?

c. A further test for you is to find other programs that behave the way
you claim FF does. I know of at least one.

BTW, did you understand the sarcasm of my first post?

Just curious...

I have the *latest* Firefox and the way it works is this. If I have
a web page full of text and I want to find a word on the screen then
<ctrlF> will bring up a field at the bottom of the Firefox screen into
which I type the term. The field turns pink if there is no result,
but any success will highlight in green the word on the page, and if
several then F3 will select each in turn. With programs such as
"AutoPager" this is incredibly useful because several pages are loaded
at once and using F3 saves a lot of checking. I just thought
Windows7 might have a similar useful find facility. For example my
"Administration Tools" /"Windows Firewall with Advanced
Security" is so filled with fine print I often fear I'll miss
something.

I assumed no hallowed newsgroup such as this would descend into
sarcasm.
