3 May 20251 minute to read

Document editor provides an options to change the default search highlight color using searchHighlightColor in Document editor settings. The highlight color which is given in documentEditorSettings will be highlighted on the searched text. By default, search highlight color is yellow.

Similarly, you can use documentEditorSettings property for DocumentEditor also.

The following example code illustrates how to change the default search highlight color.

import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import {
  ToolbarService,
  DocumentEditorContainerComponent,
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor';
import { DocumentEditorContainerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-container',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [DocumentEditorContainerModule],
  providers: [ToolbarService],
  template: `<ejs-documenteditorcontainer #documenteditor_default 
      serviceUrl="https://services.syncfusion.com/angular/production/api/documenteditor/" 
      height="600px" 
      style="display:block" 
      [documentEditorSettings]= "searchHighlightColor"
      [enableToolbar]=true >
    </ejs-documenteditorcontainer>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  @ViewChild('documenteditor_default')
  public container?: DocumentEditorContainerComponent;
  // Add required color to change the default search highlight color
  public searchHighlightColor = { searchHighlightColor: 'Grey' };
  ngOnInit(): void {}
}
