To find previous, Ctrl+Shift+G, or Shift+F3. Actually, just Ctrl+F, search text, Enter and keep hitting Enter works too. To do “find next” just press Ctrl+G or F3.

Also, I'm curious if anyone knows how to do "next" from the keyboard after doing ctrl+f. I've been searching everywhere, tried every ctrl/alt+key combo I could think of... nothing I noticed a minor typo - the hard refresh shortcuts are written right now as ctrl+r or ctrl+f5, when in reality it should read ctrl+shift+r or ctrl+f5.

I'm not a big user of slash myself (even though I understand why Unix users have it more ingrained due to the prominence of slash search with more and most editors). But I can definitely relate to where you're coming from. With Chrome, your closest workaround is to type Ctrl+F, type the text, then click the link. That is a pain. I've submitted this page as a "bug" to the Chrome team, so hopefully they'll check it out and add support before release. Interesting.

I routinely navigate websites in Firefox by typing the text of the link, and then pressing enter to visit that link. Not being able to do this means having to mouse down to the link and click. Its a *huge* difference. There are still a few “killer features” that firefox has above Chrome, and “find as you type” or “press / to find” is absolutely in that list for me.
