Camino browser speedy text search

Camino iconI just noticed that this recent build of my favorite Mac OS X web browser Camino (Build 2003051604) has a speedy text-finding trick up its sleeve —

If you start typing in an active browser window with no insertion point anywhere, Camino jumps to and selects any page text that matches the characters you’re typing! (Like Emacs’ I-search.)

Wow, this shaves seconds off the process of opening a find dialog to find text on a page.
