VoiceOver has a function called "Item Chooser" which is available
anywhere, not just on the web. When you press it, it brings up a sort
of menu of everything being displayed in the window. If you type a few
letters in, the menu shrinks to only include items which contain the
letters you typed. It is actually much nicer than a traditional find
command, as you are describing, and a whole lot more powerful. :)
