However on the WWDC Sessions Discover WKWebView enhancements they mention that is a basic functionality for "Find on Page", where you can find a string and the WebView will select it and scroll to center it. It seems very easy to use and to be finding the string as I get a result of matchFound true, but there is no selection and there is no scrolling. Maybe I'm missing something? This is the code I have tried: let webView = WKWebView() // ... // after loading a website with the desired string on it. // ... webView.find("hello world") { result in print(result.matchFound) // true } 1772422 1 wenson_hsieh 2021-06-24 12:48:47 -0700 FWIW, the documentation does suggest that the matching range ought to be selected and scrolled into view: ``` /* @abstract Searches the page contents for the given string. @param string The string to search for. @param configuration A set of options configuring the search. @param completionHandler A block to invoke when the search completes. @discussion If the WKFindConfiguration is nil, all of the default WKFindConfiguration values will be used. A match found by the search is selected and the page is scrolled to reveal the selection. The completion handler is called after the search completes. */ - (void)findString:(NSString *)string withConfiguration:(nullable WKFindConfiguration *)configuration completionHandler:(void (^)(WKFindResult *result))completionHandler NS_REFINED_FOR_SWIFT WK_API_AVAILABLE(macos(11.0), ios(14.0)); ``` 1774170 2 webkit-bug-importer 2021-07-01 11:06:18 -0700 <rdar://problem/80034358>
