Search words

[Hanschrs]

Dear team, I am requesting a script that allows for text content searches. For example, I want to search for the word "Hello world" within a document, regardless of font type or size. Thank you very much.

[Hanschrs]

I apologize, I wrote incorrectly. I meant to ask if there is any script or option in Illustrator that selects specific words in searches and keeps the selection active for all found words, regardless of the typography

[Kurt Gold]

No, currrently that's not possible.

Exactly what are you going to do? Perhaps there is another way to achieve what you want.

I am in the sublimation industry, and it is very common to work with a vector and make small variations such as people’s names, jersey numbers, and variations in models for women, men, and children. Once printed, these letters help me organize hundreds, sometimes thousands, of printed pieces that will be sublimated onto a sublimable item that must match the type of print, whether for a child, woman, or man. This is, in summary, one of the reasons why that script would help me.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'd recommend to familiarise yourself with Illustrator variables (see Variables palette). They may be a huge help.
