How to search with pdf.js?

Question

I\'m displaying a pdf file with pdf.js in my Ionic App. I do not use viewer.js and viewer.html, because I need a totally different layout. Now I have a custom search bar and

Now I found the solution!

var container = document.getElementById('viewerContainer');
var viewer = document.getElementById('viewer');


var pdfViewer = new PDFViewer({ 
   container: container,
   viewer: viewer
});

$scope.pdfFindController = new PDFFindController({
   pdfViewer: pdfViewer
);

pdfViewer.setFindController($scope.pdfFindController);

container.addEventListener('pagesinit', function () {
    pdfViewer.currentScaleValue = 'page-width';                            
});

PDFJS.getDocument(MY_PATH_TO_THE_PDF).then(function (pdfDocument) {
    pdfViewer.setDocument(pdfDocument);
});

Search for terms:

$scope.pdfFindController.executeCommand('find', {
    caseSensitive: false, 
    findPrevious: undefined,
    highlightAll: true, 
    phraseSearch: true, 
    query: "myQuery"
});

And I had to import the viewer.js.

The code that I posted in the question is not needed anymore. The PDFViewer renders the pdf.
