webkit_find_controller_search ()

void
webkit_find_controller_search (WebKitFindController *find_controller,
                               const gchar *search_text,
                               guint32 find_options,
                               guint max_match_count);

Looks for search_text in the WebKitWebView associated with find_controller since the beginning of the document highlighting up to max_match_count matches. The outcome of the search will be asynchronously provided by the “found-text” and “failed-to-find-text” signals.

To look for the next or previous occurrences of the same text with the same find options use webkit_find_controller_search_next() and/or webkit_find_controller_search_previous(). The WebKitFindController will use the same text and options for the following searches unless they are modified by another call to this method.

Note that if the number of matches is higher than max_match_count then “found-text” will report G_MAXUINT matches instead of the actual number.

Callers should call webkit_find_controller_search_finish() to finish the current search operation.

webkit_find_controller_search_finish ()

void
webkit_find_controller_search_finish (WebKitFindController *find_controller);

Finishes a find operation started by webkit_find_controller_search(). It will basically unhighlight every text match found.

This method will be typically called when the search UI is closed/hidden by the client application.

webkit_find_controller_search_next ()

void
webkit_find_controller_search_next (WebKitFindController *find_controller);

Looks for the next occurrence of the search text.

Calling this method before webkit_find_controller_search() or webkit_find_controller_count_matches() is a programming error.

webkit_find_controller_search_previous ()

void
webkit_find_controller_search_previous
                               (WebKitFindController *find_controller);

Looks for the previous occurrence of the search text.

Calling this method before webkit_find_controller_search() or webkit_find_controller_count_matches() is a programming error.

webkit_find_controller_get_search_text ()

const gchar *
webkit_find_controller_get_search_text
                               (WebKitFindController *find_controller);

Gets the text that find_controller is currently searching for. This text is passed to either webkit_find_controller_search() or webkit_find_controller_count_matches().

webkit_find_controller_count_matches ()

void
webkit_find_controller_count_matches (WebKitFindController *find_controller,
                                      const gchar *search_text,
                                      guint32 find_options,
                                      guint max_match_count);

Counts the number of matches for search_text found in the WebKitWebView with the provided find_options . The number of matches will be provided by the “counted-matches” signal.

webkit_find_controller_get_options ()

guint32
webkit_find_controller_get_options (WebKitFindController *find_controller);

Gets a bitmask containing the WebKitFindOptions associated with the current search.

webkit_find_controller_get_max_match_count ()

guint
webkit_find_controller_get_max_match_count
                               (WebKitFindController *find_controller);

Gets the maximum number of matches to report during a text lookup. This number is passed as the last argument of webkit_find_controller_search() or webkit_find_controller_count_matches().

webkit_find_controller_get_web_view ()

WebKitWebView *
webkit_find_controller_get_web_view (WebKitFindController *find_controller);

Gets the WebKitWebView this find controller is associated to. Do not dereference the returned instance as it belongs to the WebKitFindController.

WebKitFindController

typedef struct _WebKitFindController WebKitFindController;

enum WebKitFindOptions

Enum values used to specify search options.

The “max-match-count” property

  “max-match-count”          guint

The maximum number of matches to report for a given search.

Flags: Read

Default value: 0

The “options” property

  “options”                  WebKitFindOptions

The options to be used in the search operation.

Flags: Read

The “text” property

  “text”                     gchar *

The current search text for this WebKitFindController.

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL

The “web-view” property

  “web-view”                 WebKitWebView *

The “counted-matches” signal

void
user_function (WebKitFindController *find_controller,
               guint                 match_count,
               gpointer              user_data)

This signal is emitted when the WebKitFindController has counted the number of matches for a given text after a call to webkit_find_controller_count_matches().

Flags: Run Last

The “failed-to-find-text” signal

void
user_function (WebKitFindController *find_controller,
               gpointer              user_data)

This signal is emitted when a search operation does not find any result for the given text. It will be issued if the text is not found asynchronously after a call to webkit_find_controller_search(), webkit_find_controller_search_next() or webkit_find_controller_search_previous().

Flags: Run Last

The “found-text” signal

void
user_function (WebKitFindController *find_controller,
               guint                 match_count,
               gpointer              user_data)

This signal is emitted when a given text is found in the web page text. It will be issued if the text is found asynchronously after a call to webkit_find_controller_search(), webkit_find_controller_search_next() or webkit_find_controller_search_previous().

Flags: Run Last
