Background

Find As You Type (or Type Ahead Find as it was originally called) allows you to start finding text on the page immediately by simply typing the text you’re trying to find. This preference lets you restrict the text being searched to link text only.

Possible values and their effects

[edit]

True

Searching through a page with Find As You Type will be restricted to text inside links. (Equivalent to starting your search with a ' [single quote] with this preference set as false.)

[edit]

False

Searching through a page with Find As You Type will include all text on the page. (Default)

[edit]

Caveats

This preference's functionality was broken for a short time on the Mozilla Firefox Aviary branch (see bug 251073).
