Apple Safari for Windows is a versatile web browser that offers many useful functions for its users. One of the most exciting features of Safari is its Text Inside search function. Have you ever wanted to search for a text that is posted on a web page you have come across while surfing the web? Well most of us need to search for the text posted inside a web page many times. Whether it’s a company name, address, a scientific term or anything else, we often require getting some definition of the particular text, its details or information related to it.

Naturally, one common method to dig for the information is to select the particular text, open the desired search engine web site, paste the text in the search bar and hit enter. However, there is an alternate search method offered by Apple safari, which not only saves time but also makes it easy to search the desired text via search engines. I always employ this method whilst surfing on my Apple MacBook Pro and would be powerless without it. Simply select the text you wish to search with any search engine and press the right mouse button. In the context menu you will see an option named ‘Search with Google’. Just select that option with the left mouse key and you will get the Google SERP (Search Engine Result Page) containing the search results.

There is no need to open up a new tab, then open Google.com and type the text for searching. However, this technique doesn’t work on the hyperlinks. To apply it on hyperlinks try selecting some space either before or after the hyperlinked text.

One unique thing that Apple Safari for Windows has to offer is the Private Browsing feature. This is one of the browser’s special features that make it an outstanding resource to trust while surfing on the web. For many web surfers the internet is the main source for carrying on their business and they need an easy solution to bolster secured online transactions.

If your web browsing is your business then you can bank upon Safari. Once its private browsing option is enabled it totally makes all your web activities private. Your web surfing is completely hidden in that mode. While working in private browsing mode the Safari doesn’t store the Google searches, history, cookies, download history and the online forms. So there are no traces left behind. The private browsing option can also be used to empty the cache and clear all the previously stored records of web browsing, downloads, forms, search bars etc.

This way you can always prevent the online identity theft. Many laptops, such as the IBM ThinkPad R52, contain numerous security precautions, like a fingerprint scanner, to prevent unauthorised access. However, these measures do nothing to secure you will whilst onlin. That’s why using Safari’s private browsing feature is a great saviour, especially when using public PCs. It really clears all the private information which shouldn’t be known to anyone else. For example; credit card number or any other personal details such as contact number, address etc. So always remember to enable the private browsing option. It can be found under the Edit option pinned on the menu bar of Safari.
