Can I search for text within IFrames?

I'm doing some exploring to see if I can display SharePoint content in IFrames. Success! I can view Word files saved as HTML pages and view it in IFrames.

But then I decided to see if I can identify keyboards in the IFrame with a search. Alas, my plan falls flat.

I suspect the answer is no, but I hope to be proven wrong. Can I somehow search for text that shows up in an IFrame?

Hi there

Is the IFrame pointing to something included in the RoboHelp project or is it simply presenting something from outside the project?

If the content being presented inside the IFrame is part of the project, then the search should be able to find terms in the document. But I would think if it points to something RoboHelp isn't even aware of, you would see issues.

Cheers... Rick

Are you using RoboHelp, an Adobe product for producing online help?

If not, then you are asking in the wrong place.

Yes, I'm using RoboHelp 9, specifically.
