Invoke Find/Replace dialog box

[Deepti]

Hi Team,
Is there a way to invoke Find/Replace dialog box with pre-defined fields from JS API? If else how to invoke the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

We offer an API to open a document with the search triggered automatically with custom values for the search form using search loading options [1] [2]: search.find, search.replace, search.matchCase, search.wholeWords.

If this does not cover your use case you can detail the scenario you are trying to cover for us to understand better and possibly come up with a solution.

Best Regards,
Michael

Hi,

For ex: I want to find elements by tag...user will enter tags and we need to list the matching tags in dialog and then on click of that, particular element must be selected and highlighted.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

The Find/Replace action from Web Author can be used only to find and replace content in the current document. You cannot use this dialog to find elements by tag name or by attributes.
To implement such an action you can use the API. There are some discussion threads for the same use-case, with information about the implementation:

Please let us know if you need further details.
