As well as using the find next button, you can press F3 (this works for
"find again" in a lot of programs, although not MS Office).
I sometimes find that, as well as pressing ctrl-home, you need to click once
in the document near the top in order for IE to start its search from the
top (or wherever you click).

Hi Carol,
Sorry, I meant "Find Next". When you click on "Edit -> Find (on This Page)"
or press ctrl-F, you get the find dialog. It has a "Find Next" button. This
is Windows XP SP2 with IE 6.

Russ,
What program are you using? Mine doesn't have a "find again" option. I
have WinXP Home SP2, with current IE, and all patches up to date.

I too find the behavior of IE sometimes annoying. What usually happens is
that when you search and find an item on a page, it leaves the cursor at
that point, and it doesn't wrap. What I do to reset the cursor to the top of
the page to "find" again, is hit ctrl-home, then a "find again" usually
works.
