*real* type-ahead find

[listservs at mac.com]

I'm not talking about auto-fill, I mean type-ahead find. Safari does not have it either, but Camino and Opera do. With type-ahead find, when you arrive at a page, and begin typing, the browser finds the text in the webpage matching the letters that you type. Omniweb does this with *links* (not quite as useful), but not with all the text.
