"find in this page" doesn't work

[GULLUWING]

I use AB 11.7 build 23 and in this new version the "find in this page" tool doesn't work. I consider this a very useful tool. Can you help me?
thank you

Maybe this may help: Ctrl+F doesnt work with Google toolbar

Do both the keyboard shortcut (CTRL+F) and the menu item (Edit >> Find on this page) not work?
What is your Windows and IE version?

[GULLUWING]

Tools > Avant Browser options > Add-ons. Disable EVERYTHING, and try again.
If that works, you can enabled the previously enabled, one-by-one. After enabling one of them, go back and check if it is still working. When you enabled one of them and it stops working, please let us know what it was that was breaking it.

the only one enabled was roboform; I disabled it and after I enabled but nothing changes

Can you try to disable KIS to see if it makes any difference.

If you go back to a previous version of Avant, does the find dialog work?

[GULLUWING]

now it works:I disabled and after enabled kaspersky

Good, thanks for confirming. I don't know why KIS causes problems, but I have read that it does mess up the IE8 install on some systems. They recommended uninstalling KIS, then installing IE8, then reinstalling latest KIS. Anyway, glad that it's resolved.
