GM_TEXTEDITOR_Search

Searches the text for the given string. The string mustn't exceed 120 characters.

These flags describe the type of search. Only specify one:

GF_TEXTEDITOR_Search_FromTop

Normally the search starts at the cursor position - this flag will make it start at the beginning of the text.

GF_TEXTEDITOR_Search_Backwards

Search backwards from the current cursor position

GF_TEXTEDITOR_Search_Next

Search forward from the current cursor position

GF_TEXTEDITOR_Highlight_All

(V. 47) Not a search in traditional sense as the cursor isn't moved. Instead all matches in the document is highlighed. It returns the number of hits. The highlights remains active and is kept updated when the text is changed. Search for "" to turn it off again.

GF_TEXTEDITOR_Search_Incremental

(V. 47) Also a forward search, but it remembers where it started so if you make repeated searches it will start again form the initial position. This makes it possible to implement incremental search, where the search is done as the user types in the search word, but the user can then also change any mis-spellings in the search word, and the search will then work as expected. If you change the cursor position in any other way that will become the new starting position for the incremental search.

These flags modify how the search is done. You can specify more than one:

GF_TEXTEDITOR_Search_CaseSensitive

Makes the search to be case sensitive.

GF_TEXTEDITOR_Search_WholeWord

(V. 47) If you want to make sure that the word you searchfor is not part of a larger word. That is, it has to be delimited by characters not alphanumeric or underscore

GF_TEXTEDITOR_Search_Cyclic

(V. 47) For Backwards and Next with this flag set, the search will continue from the other end of the document.

TRUE if the string was found, otherwise FALSE. For Highlight_All the return value is also the number of hits.

If the string was found then it is marked. So in case you want to replace it, simply call OM_TEXTEDITOR_Replace.
