search

fun search(needle: String, ignoreCase: Boolean = true, pageIndex: Int = -1): List<KiteSearchHit>

Find needle in this page's text. Matches may cross line boundaries inside a block: a line break counts as one space, except after a line ending in a hyphen, which joins the halves directly with the hyphen dropped (so a hyphenated "compres-/sion" matches "compression"). Matches never cross block boundaries. Case-insensitive comparison uses per-position regionMatches, so indices stay aligned for any script.

Parameters

pageIndex

stamped onto each hit (the model itself is page-local).
