local visible text search on current web page

Question

I need to do a local search visible text on a single simple html page. Users can simply use Ctrl+F to do that, but I would like to add a search box on the page to do the search instead. I thought of a couple ways to do this:

1- By forcing the browser's Find tool when a button on the page is clicked.

2- By a javascript/Jquery plugin that do LOCAL search on the current page.

I searched for both solutions but was not able to find anything useful. Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Are you searching just visible text? Source code? What are you trying to achieve by doing this? — michael, Feb 01 '16 at 03:02

You can give a common class name to the tags that contains the display text and perform a search based on that class name. I had attached a link for your reference. you can make use of that funtion and call that function from a button click. Generic Search in HTML Page
