Detailed Description

The string search can be initiated by the QWebEnginePage::findText() or WebEngineView.findText() method. The results of the search are highlighted in the view. The details of this result are passed as a QWebEngineFindTextResult object that can be used to show a status message, such as "2 of 2 matches". For example:

QObject::connect(view.page(), &QWebEnginePage::findTextFinished, [](const QWebEngineFindTextResult &result) {
    qInfo() << result.activeMatch() << "of" << result.numberOfMatches() << "matches";
});

Results are passed to the user in the QWebEnginePage::findTextFinished() and WebEngineView.findTextFinished() signals.
