  is there a workaround solution to be able to search with a single sheet or a workbook using Browser’s control F feature? currently any values from the workbook isn’t accessible to the Chrome’s search feature.

  Thank you

  Hi,

  This is expected because SpreadJS is implemented using the HTML5 canvas so the text you see on the sheet is actually not a text.

  The text you see is an inaccessible set of pixels arranged in the shape of letters, so Ctrl-f will not find the text.

  Further, you may use the search feature of spreadJS. Please refer to the following demo.

  Hope this clarifies the issue. Please let me know if you have further queries regarding this issue.
