Searching text can be done with different methods:

(1) Easiest: If text is in page source: => Use SourceSearch command. See also How to sourceSearch and sourceExtract with case-insensitve text - #4 by admin

If text is not directly in page source (e.g. due to frames, Javascript, Ajax and other modern page elements):

  • (2) automate the browser text search by simulating “Ctrl+F” with XType

  • (3) Or: Use OCRSearch. If this is a large web page and you want to also OCR the text below the fold then add visionLimitSearchArea | full before the OCR search command.

Search text:

If text is in page source: => Use SourceSearch command. See also How to sourceSearch and sourceExtract with case-insensitve text - #4 by admin

If text is not directly in page source (e.g. due to frames, Javascript, Ajax and other modern page elements):

  • automate the browser text search by simulating “Ctrl+F” with XType and RPA desktop automation

  • Or: Use OCRSearch. If this is a large web page and you want to also OCR the text below the fold then add visionLimitSearchArea | full before the OCR search command.

Demo macro for the OCR method:
