If that string is part of a packet you can use CTRL-F specify that you want
to search for an ascii string in the packet content and
just type the string is.
CTRL-N should jump to the next such packet, CTRL-B to the previous.

If the text is generated inside your browser you might want to search for a
TCP apcket with FIN or RST set.
