You could get the textContent/innerText of body and check to see if the
string exists.

var body = document.body,
text = "textContent" in body ? body.textContent : body.innerText;

var searchString = "test";

var hasText = text.indexOf(searchString) != -1;

Maybe with document.body.innerHTML.match(/String/g)
or OK = /String/.test(document.body.innerHTML)

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.
