Easily find the relevant part of a Google result

If you’re ever looking through a website that you found from a Google search, but are having a hard time finding the relevant part of the page, try this:

  1. Perform a Google search in the Safari toolbar.
  2. Click a link in the results page.
  3. Press Command+G.

Voilá! With one command Safari will find the first word of your search term in the page for you, making it much easier to find the part you were actually searching for. If you continue to press Command+G, it will find the next occurence of your first search term word.
