Backwards searching in your browser

Did you know that you can search backwards in your browser (at least Firefox and Chrome anyway)? You can!

In this page, hit Control+F to search for “in”. If you hit enter a few times, you should be pulled down the page as you find new search entries. What happens if you miss one?

While still in the find window, hold down Shift, and hit Enter. Magically, you’re teleported back up the page to a previous match. It’s just like previous finding in vim!
