You don't even have to do that: with Firefox default settings, tapping "/" will start searching for text in the page, while tapping "'" (apostrophe) will start searching for text only in the context of links.
Editing a page is 'edit on the wikis I use most often, for example.
- tbe 15y agoThe problem with / and ' is that they might start the search in a region of the page not currently visible. The hit-a-hint solutions limit the search to the visible portion of the page, which is much, much more productive. You typically have your eyes already on the link you want to follow, and any scrolling of the page as a result of finding matches will completely ruin the experience.
