The default “Find in this page” box is quite large and covers part of the page you are viewing. You have to move it around to view the whole page. And sometime when you are searching for a word or phrase, you find that result had actually appeared behind the find menu. 

With the find as you type bar:-
- A search pane is placed at the bottom of the browser window. 

- It will have "Find as you type" functionality.

- Highlight all feature can locate every instance of your search string and highlight them. 

- Buttons on the search pane let you jump to the previous or next instance of your search string on the current web page.

- When you type a word you're looking for, the color of the toolbar’s search field remains white as long as the string of characters you are typing can be found on the page. As soon as the set of characters you are typing is not present on the page, you get informed by a color change within the search field.
