Q. How do I check if text exists in browser?

A. Use the .include? method or a regular expression …
Example html:

<p>
  watir does not go well with furry little animals
</p>

Example watir:

puts "Text 'watir' DOES exist" if @b.text.include? 'watir'
puts "Text 'regex' DOES NOT exist" unless @b.text =~ /regex/
puts "Text 'furry little animals' DOES exist" if @b.text.include? 'furry little animals'
puts "Text 'furry animals' DOES NOT exist" unless @b.text.include? 'furry animals'

Any character(s) placed between the apostrophe’s will be searched for. The response will return true if found, and false if not found.
