        $(document).ready(function(){
        var content = {
         "data": {
          "1":[
            {
            "id":"3",
            "title":"my title",
            "content":"this is very basic sample content"
            },
            {
            "id":"4",
            "title":"My sample title and text",
            "content":"renewed by a licensing authority may be signed by such officer by the State Government.<p></p>"
            }
          ]
         }
         };

        alert(returnContent("basic"));

        function returnContent(keyword)
        {
            var returnValue = null;
            $.each(content.data, function(key, value){
                $.each(value, function(key2, value2){
                    if(value2.content.toString().indexOf(keyword) != -1)
                    {
                        returnValue = value2.id.toString();
                    }
                });
            });
            return returnValue;
        }


    });

You only have to change the keyword you are looking for in the returnContent() function

if i have huge content then this is not the proper solution .. i think — subha s, Oct 04 '14 at 10:11
