Tracking the use of Ctrl + F by JavaScript?

Question

Is it possible to know what my users are searching for on my web pages by Ctrl+F in JavaScript? So when a user uses Ctrl+F to search for something, JavaScript can capture this action (and the search phrase) and send it back to the server.

Possible? How?

Answer 1

Nope, not possible. On some browsers you can catch the key combination Ctrl+F, but you can't spy on what the user searched for. On other browsers you can't catch Ctrl+F at all.

If it's any consolation, there's probably a security flaw you can use on IE6.
