Does NW support any sort of find system?

Example: In Google Chrome, when you press control - f, you get a find window that shows a series of highlighted words on the site that match your pattern. Does node-webkit have anything like this?

something like this could be integrated in node-webkit or built into the client app.

This should be working with latest version now.

In 0.13 we changed to an optimized architecture so more features can be supported, see http://nwjs.io/blog/whats-new-in-0.13/ and it's good for keeping up with Chromium upstream -- we released with Node.js v6.0 and new Chromium versions within 1 day after upstream release.

The new version would fixed many issues reported here and we're scrubbing them. This issue is closed as we believe it should be fixed. Please leave a message if it isn't and we'll reopen it.

There's nothing in the above release 0.13 documentation that says anything about native find support being added. Was this feature actually added? If so, in which release? Where's the documentation?

Can someone confirm if this works? I tried but didn't work for me. I don't see any UI options on clicking Ctrl+F.

Its not working with latest version 0.21.3. Please advice.

Any updates on this?

I see this is reopened. @Christywl Can you provide your view on this issue please?

Mar 24 '17 04:03 PriteshGajjar008

Yes, I tried on nwjs-sdk-v0.21.3, it doesn't work. Users can't use CTRL-F to search for a word.

Mar 24 '17 05:03 Christywl

Okay. Let us know when you guys are planning to work on this.

Mar 24 '17 06:03 PriteshGajjar008

Thanks for your patience. We plan to fix it soon by providing an API and you can bind it to the hotkey. It shouldn't be a default behavior.

This is depending on #5875 , which has some progress recently. This feature should be easy to implement after that one is done.

I created an easy to use tool as a temporary stand in.

find-in-nw

Usage

npm install --save findinnw

In your HTML file add:

<script src="node_modules/findinnw/dist/find-in-nw.js"></script>
<script>
  findInNw.initialize();
</script>

Use CTRL+F and ESC to show/hide the search box

I'll start adding browser features (including this) after #7230 is resolved.

Is there an opportunity to fund this work?
