Search for text ANYWHERE on webpage

Is there a way to verify the existence, or non-existence of a string ANYWHERE on a page?? We sometime get PHP errors and they can appear quite literally anywhere on the page. I would like to check for there existence and do some error trapping - even though I can't get the try/catch method to work for _assert. Can anyone help???

    Hey Wormi!! You seem to trying to answer all my questions - thanks!!! Unfortunately, this doesn't work. It fails with: _assertContainsText("A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Notice Message:", document.body.textContent);
    TypeError: orig is undefined

    Ahh me stupid... I had this Error earlier this day and was figuring... this won't happen a third time today! xD

    well _assertContainsText("A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Notice Message:", document.body);
    will work as you have to give an element as argument..
