Full text search in Electron BrowserWindow

问题

Does the Electron application framework have built-in text search?

The quick-start application doesn't provide any apparent search functionality (e.g. using Ctrl-F or from the menu options). I would have expected this to be a BrowserWindow option (or an option of its WebContents), but I don't see anything helpful in the docs.

回答1:

Try webContents.findInPage just added in the latest version.

回答2:

I know this is an old thread, but might still be relevant for people out there. Had the same problem, and first fixed by using electron-in-page-search, but this component doesn't work properly with Electron 2 or greater.

Then finally found electron-find resolved my problem. Using with Electron 4.

You just add the component to your project:

npm install electron-find --save

Add a global shortcut in your Electron main process to send an event to the renderer in a ctrl+f:

globalShortcut.register('CommandOrControl+F', () => {
    window.webContents.send('on-find');
});

And then you can add this to your page (the renderer process)

const remote = require('electron').remote;
const FindInPage = require('electron-find').FindInPage;

let findInPage = new FindInPage(remote.getCurrentWebContents());

ipcRenderer.on('on-find', (e, args) => {
  findInPage.openFindWindow()
})

Hope that helps.
