关于Safari/Edge浏览器Command-F搜索起始位置的功能问询

Hey there! I totally get where you're coming from—losing your place on a page when Command-F jumps all the way to the first match is super disorienting, especially since VS Code nails this intuitive behavior. Let’s break down how to fix this in both browsers:

Safari #

• Safari actually has a built-in (though slightly counterintuitive) setting to make search start from your current view:
  1. Open Safari, head to Safari > Settings (or hit Command + , to open it quickly).
  2. Switch to the Advanced tab.
  3. Look for the checkbox labeled "Search starts from the top of the page"—uncheck this box. Yep, the wording is backwards: disabling this option makes Safari begin searching from your current visible position instead of jumping straight to the first match on the entire page.
  4. Test it out with Command-F afterward—your search should now scan from where you’re looking first, no more jarring jumps away from your spot.

Edge #

• Edge doesn’t have a dedicated setting for this, but there’s a simple workaround that works reliably:
  1. After opening the search bar with Command-F, click anywhere on the visible part of the page first (this tells Edge your current focus area).
  2. Type your keyword next—Edge will start searching from that clicked position, moving downward through the page.
  3. If you accidentally jumped to the top before doing this, just use the Next Match button (the down arrow in the search bar) to cycle through matches until you get back to your original viewing area. It’s not as seamless as VS Code, but it gets the job done.

It’s a shame Edge doesn’t have a one-click toggle like Safari, but these tweaks should help you keep your place while searching. Hope this makes your browsing a bit smoother!
