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, and that the search text be “anchored” at the beginning of the link text.

True

When using Find As You Type, the search text must appear starting at the beginning of links. For example, searching for "Release" would match a link to “Release 1.4 Alpha” but not “Pre-Release 0.10.”
