search parameter viewer.html doesn't open automatically findbar with search string in text field

[van-nes]

A pdf.js viewer.html call with (e.g.) search parameter:
www.dezijpe.nl/pdfjs/web/viewer.html?file=/zhb/pdf/2007030311.pdf#search=abc&phrase=true
works fine, BUT doesn't open automatically the findbar.

Only after using manually the magnifier icon (findbar.title), the findbar will be opened, however
with empty search field (missing the search string from: #search=abc).
Only the number of hits is correctly shown.

How exactly (implementation in viewer.js ?) to:

1. automatically open findbar (PDFViewerApplication.findBar.open(); ?)
2. automatically include the search text-string from param #serach =

Thanks for help.

#8185 gives me a hint:

  if (hash.indexOf('=') >= 0) {
    var params = (0, _ui_utils.parseQueryString)(hash);
    if ('search' in params) {
      var searchText = params['search'].replace(/"/g, '');
      if (searchText) {
        PDFViewerApplication.findBar.open();
        PDFViewerApplication.findBar.findField.value = searchText;
      }
     ...

It works!

Now looking for a params to search for full textstring and part of text string in order to search only for 'book' and not for' bookmaker'.

@van-nes Did you create a PR for that? I think this is a really good feature!
@timvandermeij This is a really small feature that could be merged easily, right? :)

This is essentially a duplicate of issue #8185, and should be closed as such.

Unfortunately not, since that completely ignores the Firefox integration; please refer to #8185 (comment) and the discussion in #3565.

@timvandermeij Mind closing this one, since it's a duplicate of issue #8185?
