You are using VO-f and not command-f? You can try command-f as well, which
is the MacOS search facility. I have always had luck with VO-f.

I choose item chooser menu vo+i and type the string there to get as near to the
text I search for. Once I type the text, I arrow down the results and if I
find what I want press enter or vo+spacebar.

Thanks for that idea. I noticed that even after pressing VO+I I got that
irritating “Safari Busy” message again with the long wait time. However when
the list did come up I noticed a whole bunch of bookmarks in the item chooser,

results and press enter.
Incidentally, the item chooser works anywhere.

John,
Okay hate to be a pain, but that’s the method I’ve been using. Whenever I try
to VO+G to find the next occurrence of a text string that is not there, Safari
goes into that “busy” mode. This also happens when I press “L” to jump to
links, and reach the last link on a page. When I press “L”
I will often use VO-f. It’s a simple search method, but it works on the web.

text or finding the next instance on a web page. If the text is not found, I
