System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Provide practical guidance for adding robust find and replace to Apple platform text editors, including UIFindInteraction, NSTextFinder, and efficient replace-all.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • UIFindInteraction integration for iOS text views and custom editors, enabling a native find UI and search flow.
  • NSTextFinder support on macOS to deliver a native find bar experience within editors.
  • Highlighting strategies for search results using temporary attributes or rendering attributes, plus safe, backward-ordered replace-all to preserve text offsets.
  • Real-world use: implement find and replace in a custom editor, perform per-match highlighting, and execute batch replacements without corrupting ranges.

Quick Start

Describe how to implement find and replace in a simple Apple text editor, wiring UIFindInteraction for iOS and NSTextFinder for macOS, and integrate backward-ordered replace-all.
