Can I pass page number for search function?

Technical Support

Hello!

I am doing search programmatically using the searchText api

      documentViewer.on('documentLoaded', () => {
          instance.UI.searchText(searchTerm);
        }

But when the pdf pages get higher (>150), the search hangs or takes huge amount of time. The things is, I know which page the result will be in. Can I set the page number for the search? Something like

      documentViewer.on('documentLoaded', () => {
          instance.UI.searchText(searchTerm, {pageNumber: 140});
        }

If not, how can I make the search more efficient?

Thanks ejohnson! If implemented it will improve the search speed significantly because it will only search on a specific page that the users of the API wants.

I believe the algorithm can be improved assuming that the user knows where the text could be.
