Naming conventions for Abrowser, Web Browser are broken

While trying to find a way of using a search function within web pages, I found nothing at all in Add/Remove Applications relating to my originally installed browser package that seems to call itself "Abrowser" and so I instead installed "Web Browser" from within Add/Remove Applications. That involved associated installations of an email reader and a file manager.

The email reader is nowhere to be found ... and the file manager is nowhere, also, unless they are what was originally installed with/by Trisquel.

I still haven't found any way of searching a web page except by first using "view page source" and then using _that_ find.

And my installed Abrowser is unchanged, but is nowhere to be found in Installed Applications ... and Web Browser does now appear in Installed Applications. Does that mean that Abrowser is identical with and actually the same application as Web Browser ?

"Add/Remove Applications" does not have all available applications... for some reason! You can use the "Synaptic package manager" (in the "System settings") that really lists all available packages (including "abrowser").

I guess "Web browser" is GNOME's default browser that was previously known as "Epiphany". It is fundamentally different from Abrowser (based on Firefox) because it uses Webkit, rather than Gecko, as a rendering engine.

Ctrl+F is a shortcut to search in most applications (including Web browsers that usually even search as you type). Abrowser's menu is hidden by default and you must press the Alt key to show it up. You would then find the same search function in "Edition".

"Edit", not "Edition".
