Detailed Description
PdfSearchModel provides the ability to search for text strings within a document and get the geometric locations of matches on each page.
Property Documentation
| currentPage : int | 
The page on which currentResultBoundingPolygons should provide filtered search results.
| currentPageBoundingPolygons : list<list<point>> | 
A set of paths in a form that can be bound to the paths property of a PathMultiline instance to render a batch of rectangles around all the regions where search results are found on currentPage:
 PdfDocument {
     id: doc
 }
 PdfSearchModel {
     id: searchModel
     document: doc
 }
 Shape {
     ShapePath {
         PathMultiline {
             paths: searchModel.matchGeometry(view.currentPage)
         }
     }
 }
See also PathMultiline.
| currentResult : int | 
The result index within the whole set of search results, for which currentResultBoundingPolygons should provide the regions to highlight if currentPage matches currentResultLink.page.
| currentResultBoundingPolygons : list<list<point>> | 
A set of paths in a form that can be bound to the paths property of a PathMultiline instance to render a batch of rectangles around the regions comprising the search result currentResult on currentPage. This is normally used to highlight one search result at a time, in a UI that allows stepping through the results:
 PdfDocument {
     id: doc
 }
 PdfSearchModel {
     id: searchModel
     document: doc
     currentPage: view.currentPage
     currentResult: ...
 }
 Shape {
     ShapePath {
         PathMultiline {
             paths: searchModel.currentResultBoundingPolygons
         }
     }
 }
It becomes empty whenever currentPage != currentResultLink.page.
See also PathMultiline.
| currentResultBoundingRect : point | 
The bounding box containing all currentResultBoundingPolygons, if currentPage == currentResultLink.page; otherwise, an invalid rectangle.
| currentResultLink : QPdfLink | 
The result at index currentResult.
| searchString : string | 
The string to search for.
Method Documentation
| list<list<point>> boundingPolygonsOnPage(int page) | 
Returns a set of paths in a form that can be bound to the paths property of a PathMultiline instance, which is used to render a batch of rectangles around all the matching locations on the page:
 PdfDocument {
     id: doc
 }
 PdfSearchModel {
     id: searchModel
     document: doc
 }
 Shape {
     ShapePath {
         PathMultiline {
             paths: searchModel.matchGeometry(view.currentPage)
         }
     }
 }
