Control F Windows- similar feature with Mac?

Hello,
When I wanted to find any word on a Word doc or browser, with Windows I would use Control F. Is there a similar feature with the Mac?
Loving the new Mac Book Pro!
Thank you!

Mac Book Pro 15" 2009, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

You will find that many Windows keyboard shortcuts are copies of the older Mac ones, but substituted the control for our command and Alt for our Option which is now sometimes referred to as Alt as well.

There are exceptions however, usually the Mac ones are more mnemonic such as cmd Q for Quit rather than the Alt F4 of Windows.

Also you will see a recent summary of the easy to remember Mac keyboards for accented non-English characters.

There are summaries of some but not all keyboard shortcuts either under the Help menu or in Help itself, or on Apple's website in Support.
