Example
C#
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Controls; 
using Leadtools.Document; 
using Leadtools.Document.Viewer; 
using Leadtools.Codecs;

// The text 
options.Text = "LEAD";

// Any word that contains the phrase 
options.WholeWordsOnly = false; 
 
// Find all results in the bounds, not just the first 
options.FindAll = true; 
 
// Highlight the results in the View 
options.RenderResults = true; 
// Optionally change the highlight color 
//DocumentViewerText.FoundTextBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(52, Color.Brown));

// or at the current page

   // uses of this same options object will cycle us through all the matches! 
   // (If no selected text actually exists, search will default to beginPosition.)

// If we were just looking for the first match, we could use "Loop" to loop around 
// if we found nothing between the start position and the end bound. 
//options.Loop = true; 
 
// You will likely want to clear the previous highlighted results 
// on the screen so only our new results will show. 
text.ClearRenderedFoundText();
