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

count : int [since 6.8]

The number of search results found.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.8.


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.


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)
         }
     }
 }
